Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham's unfinished storyline "The Silver Age" begins next month!
In the late 80s, Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham took over the saga of Miracleman to critical acclaim. The pair of comic visionaries expanded the Miracleman mythos with new characters and introduced the story of Young Miracleman. Their series was cut short mid-storyline almost 30 years ago, but now their MIRACLEMAN: THE SILVER AGE saga will finally be completed!MIRACLEMAN BY GAIMAN & BUCKINGHAM: THE SILVER AGE #1 and MIRACLEMAN BY GAIMAN & BUCKINGHAM: THE SILVER AGE #2 will present the early chapters of the story that made it to stands, but with stunning new remastered artwork by Buckingham and containing bonus content! And then, starting in December’s MIRACLEMAN: THE SILVER AGE #3, all-new material by Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham will at long last, continue this legendary comic story!
"On our original run, I struggled a bit with the design of Miraclewoman's costume, so I looked to do something less angular and more flowing and sensitive,” Buckingham said of one change he brought to the new series. “By the time I circled back to those scenes in 2022, I felt more comfortable working with the original design."
Also arriving next month, MIRACLEMAN #0 will drum up the anticipation by getting new readers and longtime fans excited for the return of Miracleman! The giant-sized one-shot will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Miracleman’s modern era with a breathtaking journey through the fascinating Miracleman mythology in a collection of stories by Mike Carey, Peach Momoko, Jason Aaron, Ryan Stegman, and more. Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham will also craft a framing story for the issue that will lead into their upcoming return. Look for it when it hits stands on October 5.

Will they keep beating this dead horse? Moore has already done everything you can with this character and the apocrypha has had its moments. but there's nothing more to say.

Yes, read the Moore run. It's great.
Not super excited about this art, but it's good and clean at least.
Zachary Martinez
is that the one with the famous panel with the guy killing a nurse? it seems edgy enough. does it start at issue 1 with an origin and stuff?

I've only ever read the stellar Moore run. Are these issues the entirety of Gaiman's work thus far?

plot leaks? I only have this
Fawcett creates Captain Marvel
Mike Anglo creates Marvelman, a british Captain Marvel rip-off
DC sues Captain Marvel for being a Superman rip-off
Fawcett goes out of business and DC buys up the rights
DC doesn't use Captain marvel until the 70s so Marvel creates their own Captain marvel in the 60s
Warrior Magazine hires Alan Moore to do a gritty reboot of Marvelman in the 80s
Morrison sells a 5 page Miracleman story to be put in as a back-up but Moore takes offense to this and sends Morrison a letter threatening him to never touch Miracleman or else he will ruin his career; the story is never published and the Moore vs. Morrison fued begins
Warrior goes under and Eclipse buys rights from Warrior to continue and republish the run
Marvel sues Eclipse to the Marvelman name saying it's infringing on their Captain Marvel/Marvel trademark
Eclipse/Moore change name to Miracleman; Moore and Eclipse share rights to the character
Moore's run ends and sells his share of the rights to Gaiman who continues the run with Eclipse
Eclipse goes under before Gaiman ever finishes the run
Todd MacFarlane co-creates Image Comics, which is a creator owned publisher where any creations are owned by the creators
MacFarlane hires big time writers to do some Spawn issues to hype up Spawn as a big deal; gets Gaiman to write an issue wherein he creates the character Angela; that MacFarlane continues to use throughout the run
MacFarlane buys Eclipse’s character rights
MacFarlane makes a Miracleman toy which alerts Gaiman who has a problem with this since Gaiman owns half the rights and has been wanting to finish his run for years
Gaiman creates the Miracle Foundation, a company whose sole purpose is to get the rights back from MacFarlane so Gaiman can finish his run
Gaiman does a bunch of marvel comics, specifically 1602 and Eternals, for Marvel where all the money he made goes straight into the Miracle Foundation
Juan Taylor
With the money Gaiman made from Marvel, he sues MacFarlane for the rights to Miracleman using the fact that technically Gaiman owned the rights to Angela who macFarlane had been using without Gaiman’s permission since under Image’s contract, the creator of the character owns it, planning on basically forcing MacFarlane to trade Miracleman for Angela
During the lawsuit, it’s revealed that Warrior had NEVER bought the rights from Mike Anglo, meaning Eclipse never actually bought the rights, meaning MacFarlane never actually bought the rights, and the rights to the character were STILL with Mike Anglo
Marvel EiC Joe Quesada finds this out and immediately goes to Anglo to buy the rights
Gaiman, now stuck with Angela from the lawsuit without Miracleman to show for it, sells Angela to Marvel in exchange for getting to finish his run
Marvel goes to Alan Moore to tell him they’re going to be reprinting his run and Moore, disgusted after finding out that he had been illegally writing Miracleman all those years, wants nothing to do with it and says Marvel can do whatever they want but that he doesn’t want his name on any of it because he doesn’t want to be associated with it anymore, giving all the royalties from the Moore issues to the Mike Anglo estate instead to pay him back for never having had the writes originally.
Marvel then can’t use Moore’s name, and has to call him The Original Writer; and Angela is integrated into Marvel canon as Thor’s long lost sister
Quesada goes to Morrison and says that he’ll publish Morrison’s never published story
Quesada does the art and the story, which Morrison had held onto the script for all these years, is published in the first new miracleman comic called All-new Miracleman Annual
Gaiman’s run starts in September, and the never published issues will start in April

Are they already established characters or are they new? Because they look like woke-pandering!

>Mick Anglo creates Marvelman, a british Captain Marvel rip-off
Fixed
Marvelman was created by Mick Anglo because Fawcett lost to DC and couldn't create new Captain Marvel stories, so Anglo was asked to create new ones
