Ci sono storie che ti entrano nel cuore. Perché in esse ci sono, anche, personaggi che ti entrano nel cuore. Nel ciclo di Silver Surfer del tanto vituperato (sull'Uomo Ragno, non qui, né sulla She-Hulk di alcuni anni fa) Dan Slott, disegnata da Mike Allred compare questa favolosa ragazza a pallini, che diventerà la compagnia di viaggi e avventure del surfista argentato (a proposito, Stan: siamo sempre in attesa del "nome migliore" :-P) e che entrerà a far parte dell'immaginario collettivo di tutti i lettori Marvel da qui a sempre, affiancandosi a Gwen Stacy, Karen Page e tante altre "fidanzate storiche", sorpassando persino la rediviva Shala-Bal.
Il surfista decide di passare con lei tutta la vita, e di seguire di nuovo la sua da capo, per indirizzare lei e sé stesso verso quello che sarà l'errore che porterà alla loro fine. Irrimediabile e obbligatoriamente da ripetere.
Leggevo il volume conclusivo della saga mentre i Franz Ferdinand pubblicavano l'album nuovo, e per associazione di idee mi è rimasta in testa questa canzone:
Show me the body
These pictures will shock you
Love is a drag we don't need anymore
We don't need to score
Show me the body

Gateway not found
My wife is such a fine
Show me the body
Show me the body now
Love is a drag we don't need anymore
We don't need to score
Show me the body
404
Gateway not found
My wife is such a fine
Show me the body
Show me the body now

Through liquid crystal we look at the world
From our parents' homes
Show me the body
The secret of longevity is to stay away from them

You never realize how much eight pints are
'Til you see them on the ground
They cover so much ground
Locked up predator
Hunter gatherer
Once rare commodity
Now recently found salt, sugar and fat
There's heavy traffic
Show me the body now
You never realize how much eight pints are
'Til you see them on the ground
They cover so much ground
Locked up predator
Hunter gatherer

Starring in the movies of our lives
Starring in the movies of our lives
