Miracleman heating up?

[njiron]

I completed a close to NM run of this series about 2 years ago for about $250 (and that was with some multiples). Now I see that #15 regularly goes for over $100 and the entire series is selling for close to $500.

 

Anybody know why this is appreciating so quickly?

I sold my duplicate copies a couple of years ago when it was rumored that the rights between Gaiman, McFarlane and whomever else were just about sorted out, and supposedly Marvel was going to bring the character back to print (including reprinting the TPBs of the Moore issues). Figured that was the time to sell.

 

All that turned out not to happen, and as far as I can tell, they are no closer to being able to move forward now than they were a few years ago.

One of the best series ever. Agree with Zonker, it's all to do with the rights and being unable to be reprinted (apart from the original trades back when).

 

The full set of trades will run you just as much as the individual issues....if you can even find them.

I had a few sets too, that I sold off. Only ever owned ONE copy of #15

 

I only have left a Vietch signed #10 and a NM+ issue #21

 

I do, however, had all the tpb, which I love having around. GREAT, great stories.

I bought them at cover price in a small shop in Buffalo NY about 16 years ago.

The shop didn't last long, but man they had some great stuff.

I remember seeing those on my first visit to your house. So jealous!

 

Second visit to your house, I don't remember so much.

Wow, where have I been? I guess it's pretty cool that my 9 - 22 came right off the rack then I never did grab a 23 or 24 though. Was 24 an actual ending or did it just become one by default? Book 4 seemed to have a good enough end in 22...well except for the few pages after the letter col

 

Oooo, just noticed the ad on the back inside cover for the collected hardcovers. $30 each...man, wouldn't those be nice to have for that price?!

[rza808]

Yup did you see the books on ebay over the weekend? Whew this series is definitely on the upside right now. I plan to get about 10 of my MM slabbed but am just too lazy to pack em.

By default. And one of the craziest cliffhangers ever. Gaiman has said that he has the story completed and would like to get it published. Stupid Todd McFarlane.

Even nicer would be the "free" (but $5 postage) copy of the non-3D edition of the MM 3D Special (as advertised in the MM #D Special reg Edition).

No, missed those. I wouldn't mind getting mine slabbed but as soon as I do, I will want to read em again!

A few years ago, 15 was the only issue that commanded a premium. These days anything 14 and over sells very well, and deservedly so as they are very tough to find, particularly the Gaiman issues.

 

The 1-5 issues are still very cheap and very plentiful.

Darn those by default endings! Heh, I will have to check the 3D issue so I too can pine for the goodness of a $5 non-3D issue...

[Schmakt]

I like the blurb at the end of #24... something like, "We absolutely swear to you that the next issue will be out soon - Trust us!" *sigh*
