Collecting MIRACLEMAN (1985) #1, #3 and #6-16; MARVELMAN SPECIAL #1 and material from A1 (1989) #1 and WARRIOR #1-18 and #20-21 [as presented in Miracleman (2014) #1-16] - plus ALL-NEW MIRACLEMAN ANNUAL #1. For the third arc, Moore wanted a single artist to illustrate the work - feeling that while all of the artists on Book Two had been capable the chopping and changing had left the story with an "uncertain" tone. [8] He selected John Totleben, with whom he had previously collaborated on Swamp Thing for DC Comics; Totleben had already contributed the cover to Miracleman #9. [45] Moore had considered quitting the title after the end of Book Two after Yronwode and Mullaney berated his then-wife Phyllis over the phone over deadlines, but ultimately decided to stay on due to the opportunity to link up with Totleben again. [45] The first result of their latest collaboration was Miracleman #11, released in May 1987, with the artist drawing heavily on the style of Virgil Finlay. [45] However Totleben began struggling with what was initially diagnosed as retinitis pigmentosa, [Note 4] greatly slowing his work-rate. Moore vociferously resisted any suggestion of replacing Totleben, resulting in the nominally bi-monthly six issues taking over two and a half years to complete; by this point the series' slow schedule was well known. [46] Totleben's work on Miracleman would subsequently be shortlisted for the 1988 Eisner Awards [47] and received praise from Andy Mangels of Amazing Heroes due to being "incredibly richly textured", with the writer placing Miracleman 6th on his list of the 20 best comics then in publication.

Among his many victories, Marvelman prevented Boromanian spy Balco from using the experimental XB999 atomic bomber aircraft against Washington, [27] prevented crooks from poisoning Oklabama's water supply with radium, [28] and foiled an attempt by Professor Zargunza to use memory-loss gas on the world. [29] Marvelman also crossed paths with mad scientist Dr. Gargzuna, thwarting his plan to use animated skeletons to intimidate a judge. [30] Gargunza would however return with numerous other amoral plans, which Marvelman again defeated. [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44]

But what I’m saying is, these are basically the Alan Moore Thematic Greatest Hits, and he’s firing on all cylinders with them here. I really loved reading about 90% of this. His attentiveness to the characters and world is on point and feels very similar to his approach to Swamp Thing, which he would begin writing shortly after this with some of the same artists. The series grows and morphs as it continues, at first reading as a fairly straightforward but above-average superhero comic, before turning into a treatise on the human reliance on the divine. Most artists wrestle with slight variations of the same theme throughout their lives. Alan Moore is no exception. While Miracleman is one of Moore's first major works, he's basically playing the greatest hits here: there's government conspiracy, superhero deconstruction, fascism, übermensch mythology, and no fewer than two major plot points that revolve around rape. Middle-aged reporter Michael Moran always knew he was meant for something more. When an unexpected series of events leads him to reclaim his destiny, Miracleman is reborn! But Miracleman’s return threatens to unravel Moran’s life. Their connections to Dr. Emil Gargunza and Project Zarathustra bring with them disturbing revelations and trigger the return of a childhood friend who, beneath his sinister smile, has become something terrifying. Pushing the concept of the super hero to its logical conclusion, MIRACLEMAN is nothing short of a revelation. The series reinvented the super hero and 40 years later stands as one of the influential works in the comic book artform. This first-ever Omnibus edition collects MIRACLEMAN BOOKS ONE through THREE, complete with a massive trove of covers, original artwork and rare features. As the birth of her and Miracleman’s child grows near Liz is kidnapped by Gargunza, now living in Paraguay, where Liz is taken. Whilst she is held captive Gargunza relates to her his life story, telling of how he worked on the Zarathustra Project, adapting the technology of a crashed spaceship and creating the Miracleman Family. He hopes to transfer his consciousness into the body of Miracleman’s child, thus achieving immortality. Timothy Adams of ComicBook.com called Miracleman a "classic superhero." [99] Michael Doran of Newsarama included Miracleman in their "Best Marvel characters left to adapt to the MCU" list. [100] Danilo Raul of MovieWeb ranked Miracleman 7th in their "Obscure Marvel Characters That Deserve Their Own Films" list. [101] Other versions [ edit ]
