Detailed summary
Memorable quotes
Johnny: How about throwing in with us? I'd like to try that fancy surfboard myself.
The Thing: How about it? You can bunk in with old Ben?
Silver Surfer: Thank you, my friends. I was born to soar, ride the currents of space. My place is still in the skies above.
Silver Surfer: I shall not forget you. All of you. But now there are new planets to explore, new wonders to discover, and then one day when my wander lust is stilled, then perhaps, I shall return.
