Captain Miracle #1 1960 Mick Anglo Comic 2 2

[Polyphemus2]

 

Captain Miracle #1 self-published by Mick Anglo as Anglo Features in 1960. Precursor to Miracleman.

Found this in a long box and other than information about its history from sites like Wikipedia, I can't find any for sale or historical values.

Hard to believe it's a unicorn so anyone have any idea on relative scarcity and value?  Nothing online to base it on so all insight appreciated.  No ebay listings or priors for any issue in the short-lived run.

TIA.

It is not a unicorn, but also not that common. When I purchased a copy of Captain Miracle a year ago I had to pay £12 to win it which was more than i wanted to spend. Perhaps prices might have increased slightly. There were a few other titles produced by Mick Anglo himself in 1960/1961 too. As you say he later produced Miracleman comics for Thorpe and Porter in 1965 and packaged strips for City's TV Tornado in 1967. Mick was busy with comics magazines and books throughout the late 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

These Miraclemans are either cheap or ridiculously expensive depending where you look and who is selling them. Just bought this one for £10 as it completes my collection of 13 issues.

I'm curious to find out who or what is Supercoat?!?

They’re quite rare but not impossible, I’d say. There’s a whole realm of Miracleman/Marvelman-adjacent titles that are undervalued that a few folks out there (ahem) are happy to pick up when opportunity strikes. Nice going!
