Miracleman

A British superhero originally created in the 1950s as a thinly veiled imitation of Captain Marvel, Miracleman was reimagined by writer Alan Moore in 1985 as an adult rediscovering his extraordinary powers through a secret Cold War government experiment rooted in alien technology.

Few characters carry the weight of comics history quite like Miracleman — a figure who burst onto the scene in The Daredevils #7 in 1983, when Alan Moore and Alan Davis helped ignite one of the Bronze Age's most celebrated and consequential runs. Over four decades of publication, this Eclipse cornerstone has shared pages with the likes of Johnny Bates, Kid Miracleman, and Michael Moran, weaving a tapestry of stories that collectors and readers still treat with near-reverence. With a key issue to their name and 62 catalog appearances spanning from 1983 all the way to 2024, Miracleman is one of those rare characters whose longevity speaks for itself. If you're serious about understanding the ambition and craft that defined a turning point in comics, this is absolutely essential reading.
