yayyyyyy...

This is great news. Can the final issues of The Silver Age and beyond be far behind?

The best thing about this is that he's called Marvelman again. Much more elegant than Miracleman. I'm tempted to go at my 'Miracleman' TPBs with a bottle of liquid paper...

Scan the covers and photoshop them. Print the new covers on glossy paper and rubber cement them on the TPBs.

I'm as happy as if I had good sense!

[Luke Blanchard]

If you'll pardon my striking a negative note, I think Jeff has spoken well of some 50s Marvelman stories, but I've found the ones I've encountered close to unreadable. I'd recommend at least sampling the Marvelman Family's Finest reprints before buying the (presumably expensive) hardcover.

Sadly, I'm still learning my way around the onscreen tool menu!

Bit of a luddite, me.

I'm very interested in the Moore and Gaiman issues, but those happen years after this. I certainly won't be buying these, but I suppose I'll sample library copies.

[Figserello]

Any indication that they will start reprinting the Alan Moore issues from the beginning as monthlies soon? Or perhaps they'll go straight to the hardcovers first?

[Doc Beechler (mod-MD)]

I'm betting on very nice hardcovers of the Moore and Gaiman stuff later this year. And then the prices on my issues will begin to fall. Prior to buying Incredible Hulk #181, Miracleman #15 was the most expensive comic I had ever bought.
