This comic is one of my first true loves of Alan Moore's writings. An ordinary man discovers his own transformation from the mundane to the super human and supernatural. Much has been borrowed from Alan and Miriacleman by more recent media such as Heroes (and even Rome)... Published in 1985, and then compiled in subsequent releases, Miracleman is a masterwork of fiction that has helped revolutionize and re-invent comics to a newer and higher standard. It is a novelty of novelties and incorporates the full spectrum of humanity and aspects of the super-human. Excellent weaving of alien races and extaplanetary creaturs while balancing the focus of Miraclemans new found identity with his wife and soon to be mother of his/miracleman's child named Winter. :) http://www.westcoasthealing.org/ http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/prof_detail.php?profid=66098Read full review
Judging by the ISBN number this book is Miracleman Book One: A Dream of Flying (Paperback). This is the first trade of the reimaged British superhero Marvelman from the 40s and 50s. In classic Alan Moore style the character is turned on it's head and something totally unique is created. Long out of print and hard to find (ie: expensive) please pick this up if you can. There are four trades in the series and are must reads for any comic book fan. In my opinion this series is better than Alan Moore's other classic work that is getting all the attention right now... WATCHMEN... please check it out of you can. It will not let you down!
I got my copy of the book all great. Glad to have it. Unfortunately there was a tear along the top edge of the book, nothing noted in the listing about a tear on the first few pages and cover. That’s unfortunate.
