*Miscellaneous 1960 Onwards: Starting life in the UK magazine Warrior, Alan Moore’s reimagining of the 1950s British hero Marvelman changed his name when crossing the pond to be taken up and completed by US publisher Eclipse. In the 1950s, Marvelman was created by the Mick Anglo Studios to fill the gap left when Len Miller’s rights to reprint Captain Marvel ran out, and Marvelman was very much in the same mould as Captain Marvel, complete with his own ‘family’. Alan Moore changed all that, creating 16 issues of adult and often horrific but always compelling story-telling that remains one of the pinnacles of the medium. Most issues from #1 onwards are now in stock, as well as #1 of the Miracleman Family series, reprinting some of those whimsical 1950s tales.
