It is Miracleman!

 

Why should you care? Quesada has a mistress to fund. :o

They SHOULD call him MIRACLEMAN Because MIRACLEMAN is how we AMERICANS came to know the hero (thank you Alan Moore) Yes he was called MARVELMAN, But that was before MARVEL got all upset about them using the MARVEL name.

Well, the real question is whether the Marvelman from the 50s-60s will be "returning" or whether the Moore creation is being presented. Big difference! Last I checked, it was still unclear whether the Moore miracleman run is what we're talking about here.

Well, according to that post, the hardcover will reprint Miracleman's earliest appearances in chronological order, so I'm thinking Miracleman prices will fall. Much of the run-up in the issues has been due to this legal battle and the fact that they could not be reprinted.

Not true! They will reprint MARVELMAN'S earliest appearances, NOT the Alan Moore work so prices may still stay high on the Moore stuff for now.

They're reprinting the Mick Anglo stuff - not the Moore or Gaiman stories. It won't affect the MM back issues one bit.
