Miracleman Silver Age #1 Peach Momoko 1:200 Incentive Variant

Marvel, published: December 2022 (in shops 2022-10-19).

This is the 1:200 Retailer Incentive variant of Miracleman Silver Age #1 with a cover by Peach Momoko. Momoko also produced complimentary art for the 1:200 cover of Miracleman #0, which is also featured on the website.

This issue was written by Neil Gaiman, with remastered interior art by Mark Buckingham. The material ("The Secret Origin of Young Miracleman") was originally published by Eclipse Comics in June 1992, in Miracleman #23, but the Silver Age story arc was cut short in Miracleman #24 when Eclipse went into liquidation. After much litigation over ownership rights, Marvel gained ownership and eventually started to reprint the older material in 2022, with new material already written and drawn to complete the arc.
