Silver Surfer (1987) #43 – Cosmic Courtroom Catastrophe! Brace yourself for a galactic giggle-fest, because Silver Surfer (1987) #43 is about to drag the Silver Surfer through the most bizarre trial since space was invented! Published on November 1, 1990, with Ron Marz and Jim Starlin’s cheeky script and Ron Lim’s pencils that shine like a freshly polished surfboard, this issue strands Norrin Radd in the weirdest corner of the cosmos yet. Whether you’re a collector hunting for a quirky cosmic curveball, a fan of the Surfer’s starry misadventures, or just here to laugh at bureaucracy gone wild, this book’s got enough absurdity to make a black hole blush. Let’s surf into why this issue’s a total riot!
What’s the Cosmic Circus?
Picture the Silver Surfer, chrome dome gleaming, expecting to battle planet-eating titans or mad gods, only to find himself… in a courtroom? Yup, the strange saga of Dynamo City—a floating hub of cosmic commerce—takes a hilarious turn as Norrin gets tangled in the ultimate nightmare: lawyers! After last issue’s fiasco (where his life was broadcast for pocket change and he got roughed up by robot guards), the Surfer’s now facing legal fallout for his outburst. Will he charm his way out, or will these pencil-pushing aliens bury him in paperwork faster than you can say “Power Cosmic”? Marz and Starlin lean into satire, poking fun at bureaucracy while Lim’s art makes even the stuffiest courtroom look like a sci-fi blockbuster. It’s Law & Order: Cosmic Edition, with Norrin as the bewildered defendant—and trust me, the verdict’s wilder than a Skrull karaoke night!

Key Character Appearances
-
Silver Surfer (Norrin Radd): Our shiny hero’s stuck in legal limbo, proving even cosmic champs can’t escape red tape.
-
Dynamo City Lawyers: These alien ambulance-chasers are more menacing than Thanos with a law degree.
-
Various Dynamo City Weirdos: From robot guards to shady execs, this place is a cosmic clown car of oddballs.
-
Note: The focus is on Norrin vs. the system, with no big-name guest stars—just pure, unfiltered Dynamo City madness.
Current Value – A Cosmic Chuckle for Cheap!
Silver Surfer #43 is a hidden gem that won’t break your piggy bank, floating in the cosmic bargain bin. Raw copies in Very Fine (VF) condition go for $5-$10, while CGC-graded 9.8s fetch $50-$80, depending on the eBay breeze. It’s no Silver Surfer #34 (Thanos’ big comeback), but its satirical vibe and Ron Lim’s fan-favorite art give it cult appeal. Compared to the run’s heavy-hitters, this one’s like snagging a warp-speed joyride for the price of a bus ticket—affordable and endlessly entertaining.

Expected Value Trends – Will It Plead Guilty or Soar Free?
With Fantastic Four hitting theaters in July 2025, the Surfer’s whole ‘80s run is getting speculative glances, but this issue’s more of a niche player. Its Dynamo City arc (issues #42-43) is a fan-favorite for its humor, and collectors love Lim’s art, so high-grade 9.8s could nudge toward $100-$120 if the MCU boosts Surfer mania. Raw copies should stay dirt-cheap, perfect for readers who want a laugh without cosmic debt. If the MCU leans into serious Surfer (say, Shalla Bal’s rumored role), this goofy detour might stay grounded—still a hoot, but not a cash cow. That said, Marz and Starlin’s early collaboration here could draw eyes if Silver Surfer: Rebirth (their 2020s retro series) keeps the nostalgia flowing. Worst case? It’s a budget-friendly blast that’ll make you grin.

Upcoming Events to Watch
-
MCU Fantastic Four (July 2025): A Surfer spotlight could lift his whole run, though this issue’s humor might not ride the hype wave. Trailers are key!
-
Comic Cons (2025): Shows like NYCC could see dealers pushing Lim-era Surfer books if cosmic Marvel dominates chatter.
-
Nostalgia Buzz: If Marz and Lim’s Rebirth series gets a sequel, quirky issues like this might catch collector love for their ‘90s vibe.
Why This Comic’s a Cosmic Knee-Slapper
Silver Surfer #43 is like a galactic prank pulled on poor Norrin—Marz and Starlin trade epic battles for courtroom comedy, and it’s a refreshing twist in the run. Lim’s art makes Dynamo City feel alive, from snooty lawyers to hulking robo-guards, and the Surfer’s “why me?” vibe is peak cosmic fish-out-of-water. It’s not a key issue, but it’s got that ‘90s Marvel charm, like Guardians of the Galaxy crossed with a Dilbert strip. Whether you’re chasing Lim’s iconic run, giggling at the Surfer’s worst day ever, or just want a comic that’s more fun than a barrel of space monkeys, this issue’s a winner. Plus, lawyers vs. the Power Cosmic? That’s a grudge match for the ages.
