Miracleman #1
Miracleman #1 (1985) kicks off with a haunting origin retelling as the title character recounts his past to his wife Liz—though something feels off in the story he’s telling. Alan Moore and Garry Leach lay the groundwork for a reimagined mythos, revealing that Johnny Bates, once thought dead, is very much alive. The cover by Alan Davis and Garry Leach captures the eerie tone of this bold new beginning.
In "...A Dream of Flying [Book One Chapter 2]," Steve and Trevor make a desperate break with stolen plutonium, while Michael Moran battles a haunting nightmare—until the forgotten magic word Kimota ignites a transformation that reawakens the legendary Marvelman within.
In "Book One Chapter 3" of Miracleman #1 (1985), Miracleman shares his origin with his wife Liz, weaving a tale that feels familiar yet subtly off—his memories are not quite his own. As he speaks, the truth begins to unravel: Johnny Bates, the boy once believed dead, is very much alive, and his return casts a long shadow over Miracleman’s past.
