B E S T
C O L L E C T I O N S /
R E I S S U E S:






-MIRACLEMAN, Book 1: A Dream Of Flying, by Alan Moore, Garry Leach, and Alan Davis (Marvel) ⇧

-MIRACLEMAN, Book 2: The Red King Syndrome, by Alan Moore, Alan Davis, John Ridgeway, Chuck Beckum, and Rick Veitch (Marvel)


M I R A C L E M A N


In 1982 a new writer named Alan Moore entered British comics and immediately began revolutionizing and advancing the entire industry.

Just as Punk was driving Do-It-Yourself indie bands and labels to upend the music industry, indie creators and start-up publishers likewise expanded the horizons of the graphic storytelling medium. For the iconoclastic Warrior magazine Moore co-created V FOR VENDETTA with artist David Lloyd, challenging the repressive Thatcher regime with an anti-dystopian allegory for the ages. But also, he resurrected a Captain Marvel knock-off from the '50s called Marvelman.


Rather than the light kids fare of yore, in one genius stroke Moore reimagined the hero from the perspective of modern maturity, grounding the series with unparalleled realism, psychology, and social comment. O'Neill and Adams had first ushered the dawn of 'The New Relevancy' in comics with the political realism of their 1971 Green Lantern/ Green Arrow stories, and now Moore illuminated the next level. With the taut and detailed art of Garry Leach and then Alan Davis, Moore brought a new depth and breadth of sophistication in craft and subject matter to comics with this stealth series. This only increased exponentially with time across three arcs (Book 1, 2, and 3), where he deconstructed, reconstructed, challenged, and expanded the entire potential of superheroes specifically and the comics medium by extension.

All 'postmodern', 'deconstructed', and Mature comics since 1982 ripple directly off of the big bang of those Marvelman stories. No matter how removed you may feel from it, it is the star-stuff that composes nearly everything you have read and are now reading.

Moore was so successful so fast that DC Comics poached him in 1984, where his new masterpieces -SWAMP THING and WATCHMEN- changed everything universally. Many have heard of V FOR VENDETTA because DC kept it in print. But Marvelman -rechristened MIRACLEMAN in the United States- was out-of-print for decades because of greedy legals. (Looking at you, Todd.) Now, Marvel Comics has rectified this, with remastered art, new color, and the deluxe treatment it deserves.

That's your cue. Quality is timeless... it's time to catch up.

-CREEPING DEATH FROM NEPTUNE: The Life and Comics of Basil Wolverton, Vol. 1, by Basil Wolverton (Fantagraphics) ⇧ _______

B E S T
C O M I C S :




I M A G E



-SAGA, by Fiona Staples and Brian K. Vughan

It could have just been a Space Fantasy with attitude and done just fine. But, to our benefit, it is one of the most finely made stories being created, ever-challenging and surprising at every turn.

And the character, the fiercely resolute Kate Kane, is one of the best since Bill Finger defined Batman.

-WONDER WOMAN, by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang _______
A hardboiled approach to Diana seems antithetical, and yet everything here works.
Terse dialogue and grand theatre are underscored by empathy and grace, brought to balance by sharp graphics and moody colors.

  • They are the sole creators of this original saga, despite a copyright swindle by the publisher.
