British Comics Update: The First Miracle Man
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: In 1958, Mick Anglo, the creator of the earlier Marvelman, originated the character of Superhombre for a Spanish publisher, where it had a respectable run of 68 issues. In 1965/66, Anglo repurposed the character as Miracle Man for Thorpe & Porter’s Top Sellers imprint, where the title lasted for 13 issues. (Much later of course, Alan Moore revived the original Marvelman, but for American publication, he had to be re-named Miracleman.) So here we have two issues of this esoteric super-hero (backed up with DC’s Blackhawk reprints). An interesting backwater in the Marvelman/Miracleman mythos.
