  2. I scanned in actual pages and put them online.
  3. This is quite an interesting Miracleman item - one I didn't know about either until last year. It's not a fanzine per se, it's comic published by Richard Johnston, the comics journalist. It was published after MM 24 so is the last appearance of MM until 2004's A1 Sketchbook (minus a few mags). Print run was 3,000 and there was an ashcan version. Yup, that's me, though I'm not sure about "journalist". I was at 20 or 21 at University, I was reading Cerebus, I wanted to put out a comic. I noted how publishers used hot artists to do covers, I decided to go round conventions getting "jam" covers from a bunch of cool artists. Bisley, Sim, Gaiman, Talbot, and the ones you see here - Campbell, Smith, Fegredo, Glyn Dillon, Sean Phillips, Paul Grist, Gary Erskine, Woodrow Phoenix and Mark Buckingham - remember this was all twenty years ago as well. Last year Gary Erskine drew my royal wedding comic biography. Some never even got used, like one with Frank Quitely art... I shoudl find that. Because here's the thing. I don't have a lot of spare copies, they were pulped along the way. I think 800 copies sold to the direct market, the rest are in landfill mostly. I do however have the original cover art. Hmmm.
