EwanUK Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hey guys just a question since you all are big MM collector's too: Can anybody think of some other MM or MM related books worth adding to my collection? Here's what I have: MM 1-24 MM 3-D Apocrypha 1-3 MM Family 1,2 A1 Sketchbook (2 copies on the way in the mail as we speak) I've heard that A1 #1 has a warpsmith story by Moore and that Neil Gaiman wrote a MM story in Total Eclipse #4. Any other books I should keep an eye out for? Guys This is my Miracleman collection as it stands - not to boast - but it's pretty reflective of what exists out there (after a lot of research!) - Eclipse Miracleman 1-24 (Copies bought as released, except 17 - including the UK variant of no.1 - has Dez Skinn Quality advert on back cover) Eclipse Miracleman 1-6, 8, 10, 12-17, 20, 24 in CGC 9.0 to 9.8. (No.s 2, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 20 are highest census copies). I'm trying to get every copy graded above 9.0. Atomeka A1 Sketchbook, Unsigned Leach cover CGC 9.8 x 2 Atomeka A1 no.1 1989, VF lovely Warpsmiths cover & story, under-rated Atomeka A1 Sketchbook, MINT x 2, WS cover by Leach Eclipse Miracleman TPBs Books 1-5. I don't have any of the Hard-backs or the US version of The Golden Age (there was a UK and US cover). VF to MINT (my Apoc is factory sealed still). Eclipse Miracleman 3D, NM Eclipse Miracleman 2D - no, I haven't got a copy - this is the holy grail of all MM issues. Chris and I think less than 10 exist - see info earlier in this thread. Super-rare and impossible to identify! Eclipse Apocrypha 1-3, NM Eclipse Miracleman Family 1, 2 NM - getting scarce in high grade Eclipse Total Eclipse 1-5 VF-NM - impossible in super high-grade. MM is on the cover of 2, 4 and 5. No.4 contains the 1st Gaiman MM - the 10 page, "The Screaming". Copies are on Mile High. Eclipse Alex Pressbutton 2 NM, reprints Warpsmiths "Cold War, Cold Warrior" Image Hellspawn 6 NM, Mike Moran cameo Image Spawn / MM Litho - retailer incentive, NM, some were signed by McFarlane - quite common on ebay, great art I think Image Spawn / MM figures, MINT, San Diego 2003 Image MM Statue, MINT, 2003, big version of the above, there's a copy of previews with this as a cover I remember Bowen Designs, MM Statue - don't have this yet Marvel UK - MSH 387 FN, 388 (not got), Daredevils 7 VF Marvel X-Men Archives 2 and 4. Reprints the UK issues above. NM Quality Warrior 1-26 Quality Marvelman Special Quality MM, YM, KM badges from 1985 Eclipse "On Sale Here" Poster, cover to MM 1 and DNAgents no.1, VF Eclipse Issue 2 cover poster Eclipse Extra 16, 4 page promo with Beckum MM cover, NM Eclipse MM Square Badge - Beckum art - see back cover of 5 (I think), MINT Eclipse 10th Anniversary Poster, MINT Eclipse MM T-shirt, MM logo on chest Eclipse MM The Golden Age Postcard, 1993 San Diego con Eclipse MM The Golden Age Coin - one on ebay now, MINT Known Fanzines - don't have all of these by any means Advanced Comics 57 - has MM 25 solicitation - rare! Advanced Comics 64 - has MM Triumphant solicitation - rare! Comics international 128 - MM cover & inside feature, FN Comics International 147 - Warpsmiths cover by Leach, VF Fantasy Express 5 - has Moore as MM cover by Alan Davis - rare! Fusion 2 & 4 - have Kid Miracleman covers (I believe) rare! Speakeasy - 50something - has original MM cover by Leach - rare, had this years ago but lost it Speakeasy 68 - MM cover by Totleben - original sketch, NM - there is a least one copy on Mile High now - go get it! Arken Sword 17/18 - has extensive Alan Davis interview - and a unique MM / Captain Britain half-page strip! Superb! VF Amazing Heroes 85, NM, MM cover by Davis Amazing Heroes 142, MM on cover, Eclipse 10th Anniversary Foreign Super Comics - Italian squarebound series reprinting Book 1 on high quality paper. I have no.20 so far. Still investigating this. MM was also published by companies in Spain & Brazil. There is also a French & Portuguese hard-cover versions of Book 1. The French one is quite common on ebay. And that's everything I know of... But... I haven't got any original art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other books I should keep an eye out for? That is a TIGHT collection already! Most people would kill to have that collection! I think you are set already! The big time rare ones are the MM #1 signed by Moore and another version of #1 signed by 2 others (not remembering who at this point) both come with a COA and were released at the SDCC the year they were printed. Warrior #1 is a must also...at least in my opinion! Yes - forgot the Gold & Blue Editions! I have neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EwanUK Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Okay, I'm interested but also a bit confused. Any clues on the best place to find the A1 Sketchbook with Miracleman? It looks like Mile High has them at $12. I've never seen one elsewhere. I have been unable to find any in online comic stores, but MH does list them on ebay for waaaaaaay cheaper, although they have not listed any in the past 2 weeks...not that I would buy anymore anyways and they are also signed versions...which appear much easier to get stateside (EwanUK, thoughts? ) Yes mate, they were done for a US convention. I haven't seen any on sale in the UK. But as Atomeka is a UK company the unsigned ones are mostly here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EwanUK Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Here is the cover to Marvel Super-Heroes #388 Stan 4ColorHeroes Wow! Do you actually have that? Want to sell it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4colorheroes-migration Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) Actually it is part of a collection of Marvel UK items that have been sold to a collector in the UK, I thought I would post the cover since there wasn’t a scan online anywhere else. I do agree that of all the Moore Marvel UK books that MSH is the hardest to find, and all Moore UK books are hard to find in high grade. I must say Ewan you have a great collection, but if using it as a list of Miracleman appearances and variants then shouldn’t Warrior’s #19 and #22 – 26 be excluded. All of them have V For Vendetta stories by Moore, but I don’t think there are any MM appearances.

4colorheroes-migration Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Don't make me break out some OA, oh no, don't make me . You win when you start bringing up OA for sadly I am lacking in that category. But I do have scans of the pencils for issue #11 Page 1 pencils only Stan 4ColorHeroes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkveronese Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I like the -script and pencil scans. I've seen them on eBay, but I keep waiting for a website to post some. The OA for the page you posted the pencil scan of went for $3600 on ebay a couple of months ago - a little too rich for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price they want for the -script and art scans on eBay is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. I mean $250.00 for copies of the original pages is a bit much but original Moore scripts are hard to come by. Does anyone here have any original Moore scripts?

pkveronese Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 What do you guys think of OA not from the Miracleman series, but that has Miracleman appearances on the page (like from the Total Eclipse series / HellSpawn, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard his stuff is super detailed - how's the MM#11? The Miracleman #11 -script is not nearly as detailed as some of his other scripts, like say Big Numbers #3 which is over 250 pages for a 48 page book. The -script itself is 35 pages (over double what the printed story was) and does have some great bits in it. Like the fallowing sequence on page 3 panel 4, where Johnny Bates is being taunted by the other children. Good Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkveronese Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I bet I've got a signed version of the A1 Sketchbook nobody else has got - My wife got me the original art for the cover and the back cover (the Miracleman and Bates pin-ups) for Christmas and they arrived today. She got them through Rufus Dayglo (one of Leach's buddies and a darn good artist in his own right!) and this was in the peackage when I opened it today .
