Marvel's Time Slip: Smith's Silver Surfer, Jones' Thing and Totleben's Doc Ock


The Silver Surfer by Jeff Smith

Doctor Octopus by John Totleben

The Thing by Kelly Jones


Marvel did this one-page 'Time Slip' thing 20 years ago in some hype publication, before collecting them into one comic. They gave some of the hottest talents of the time a chance to radically redesign the biggest names in the Marvel Universe, and those artists came back with some truly breathtaking ideas, which were almost totally ruined by the atrocious graphic designs Marvel slapped all around it. 

Almost. 

I can still dream of seeing Jeff Smith's Silver Surfer.
