Animation: The Silver Surfer

Time for a look at some of the art for the THE SILVER SURFER animated series on Fox Kids Network. For those of you who are fans of the late great Jack Kirby, comic book artist extraordinaire who co-created the Surfer with writer Stan Lee, this should be a special treat because Roy Smith and Dale Hendrickson, the artists responsible for the look of the show have done their very best to maintain the famed Kirby line. So, without further ado, here are some images from the model pack and the very first storyboard!

TEASER

FADE IN:

EXT. THE UNIVERSE

As it literally EXPLODES ONTO SCREEN! We PAN ACROSS clouds

of interstellar dust spinning into galaxies, stars

coalescing, planets being born, and, OVER this we HEAR:

THE WATCHER (V.O.)
Behold the universe! Incredibly
complex, yet wonderfully simple,
it encompasses all creation while
racing toward its ultimate end.

Suns go nova and supernova, the planets near them exploding.

Black holes collapse in on themselves. We CONTINUE PANNING,

TO a group of galaxies -- a Milky Way of Milky Ways.

THE WATCHER (V.O.)
(continuing)
Within this maelstrom of growth and
destruction blaze millions of galaxies,
billions of stars andplanets.

We TIGHTEN within the group of galaxies, so that we can see

various individual stars, with planets circling around them.

THE WATCHER (V.O.)
(continuing)
This sector of the universe alone
is home to uncountable civilizations...

EXT. SERIES OF SCENES INCLUDING:

EXT. FIRST PLANET

We SEE the COTATI, a species that resembles mobile plants,

living around a flowering oasis.

EXT. SECOND PLANET

We SEE the HWINNIM, a horselike but intelligent species on a

desolate planet, staring into space like house cats...Or Zen

masters.

EXT. THIRD PLANET

We SEE a radially symmetrical species made of gleaming

crystal, moving through a crystalline city.
