About this Collection
This collection kicks off the groundbreaking 1980s revival of the classic British superhero, originally written by Alan Moore with art by Garry Leach and Alan Davis. It reprints the early stories that reimagined the Miracleman mythos with a dark, realistic tone, following the discovery of a long-lost superhero and the consequences of his return. The volume includes the complete 'A Dream of Flying' storyline, setting the stage for one of comics' most influential deconstructions of the superhero genre.
