I almost run out of superlatives when it comes to describing the sheer, unadulterated force that is Alan Moore. My favourite comic book author by a sizeable margin. There is Alan Moore's writing, and then there is everyone elses. The gulf really is that wide. And despite modern comics being a shower of unreadable shite, one of the few saving graces is that there is never a shortage of Alan Moore's works being collected in hardcover format. One of the many benefits of having oodles of talent, that no matter how much some people may wish to cancel you, your books sell that bloody well, neither Disney Marvel nor Dead Company can afford to keep his works out of print. 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.

The Qys take Miracleman and Miraclewoman to their homeworld where the future of the Miracleman Family - and Earth itself - is discussed by the ambassadors of the Qys and their mortal enemies the Warpsmiths. Miraclewoman convinces the assembly that Earth should be a neutral world wherein the two cultures can work together and hopefully achieve some form of understanding. Sergi, Joe (2015).

Retrieved 17 October 2022. In 1981 Dez Skinn opted to revive the character for anthology Warrior. After his preferred choices turned him down, he became aware of Alan Moore's similar interest in reviving the character and requested a proposal. Impressed by the writer's ideas, Skinn commissioned Moore as writer for the strip, which debuted in the first issue of Warrior in March 1982. [6] Moore would later relate that he was drawn to the character's resemblance of the concept of the Übermensch from the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, a concept that would be frequently drawn on in this revival. [7] After others had demurred, Garry Leach was assigned to draw the strip. He modelled the revised Marvelman on actor Paul Newman and redesigned the chest insignia into a more modern style. Leach and Moore opted for a graceful look for the character in contrast to the more common musclebound superhero archetype. [8]

A three-year hiatus followed, with Marvel Senior Vice President of Publishing Tom Brevoort assuring fans that it would be published as "soon as everything is ready". [73] Quesada would attribute the delay to wanting to "do it right", including acquiring original artwork and high-quality Photostats for restoration. Others have noted other potential factors, including ongoing uncertainty over who owned the 'Miracleman trademark (speculated to have actually been owned by McFarlane) and negotiations with Moore over the permission Marvel needed to reprint his work. [39] By 2012 Marvel had secured the 'Miracleman' trademark [74] and at New York Comic Con 2013 announced the reprints and eventual continuation would use this name, contrary to previous proclamations. [75] [76] [22] Marvel opted to title the revival material 'Miracleman', while retaining 'Marvelman' for potential future use. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Quesada said this was because it "was the coolest name" and was the name Marvel staff used when discussing the character. [77] While this kind of change may have been expected for the Mass Market Digital version sold by Marvel and offered from ComiXology alongside the Parental Guide version (And yes, no idea how they're going to deal with the birth issue – the covering up of Warpsmith nipples this week was particularly strange,) this is the first time such an act of censorship has been applied to the printed copy of Marvel's Miracleman intended for an adult audience. Of course, Marvel never used to be quite so reticent either… take this all ages panel from an earlier issue of Uncanny X-Men… Khoury, George (2001). "Ages of Gold, Silver and the Darkness". Kimota!
