British Comics Update: Mick Anglo’s Captain Miracle
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: After the conclusion of the Marvelman series (himself a copy of the American Captain Marvel), British artist Mick Anglo moved on to give us just nine issues of Captain Miracle from 1960, who was really just Marvelman with a costume symbol change). There was even a Miracle Junior too. (Of course, we know of a later context where the words Marvel & Miracle were interchangeable, don’t we, kiddies?) Anyway, in the same format as Marvelman, accompanied to varying degrees by American back-up strips, we present three of the nine issues, including #1. We haven’t seen issues of these before, and believe them to be uncommon.
