This graphic novel series was created in celebration of Eclipse Comics’ tenth anniversary. The story begins with a total eclipse that took place millennia ago. At that moment, a baby was born and was commanded to be sacrificed. The primitive people complied, only to be stunned when the sacrifice…failed.
Since that day, the boy called Zzed has been immortal. But while he once cherished his longevity, he now seeks oblivion destruction above all else. Sadly for him, knives, bullets, bombs, and even dissection are unable to cause him permanent harm. He simply reincorporates, and his life drags on. Finally, he has decided that the only way to destroy himself is to destroy the entire world.
To stop him, Eclipse gathers all of its modern characters, including Miracleman, the Prowler, Strike!, Aztec Ace, and others in an incredible anniversary event.
Miracleman or Marvelman as he is known in the UK, is the British version of CAPTAIN MARVEL AKA SHAZAM! This is the beginning of Neil Gaimans' saga of "The Golden Age", following Alan Moore's ultimate superhero battle that ended his run on the title.
"The Golden Age", shows the world as a utopia gradually being transformed by alien technologies, and benignly ruled by Miracleman and other parahumans, though he has nagging doubts about whether he has done the right thing by taking power. Gaiman's focus in "The Golden Age" is less the heroes themselves than the people who live in this new worldV

THE HISTORY OF MARVELMAN!!!
Product Description Alan Moore’s Miracleman predated Watchmen and Dark Knight as the first of the grim, ultra-realistic strips that changed super-hero comics forever. But whatever happened to Miracleman? For the first time, this trade paperback tells all the behind-the-scenes secrets, from the character’s start as the British strip Marvelman, to the legal and creative hurdles during its 24-issue run at Eclipse Comics, and why you never saw the final Neil Gaiman-scripted issue! Sporting a Mark Buckingham cover and an introduction and back cover by Alex Ross, this book features in-depth interviews with Alan Moore, John Totleben, Neil Gaiman, Mark Buckingham, Barry Windsor-Smith, Beau Smith, Cat Yronwode, Rick Veitch, and others!
Plus there’s an amazing assortment of unpublished art, uninked pencils, sketches, and concept drawings (including unseen art from the never-published issue #25) by Totleben, Windsor-Smith, Buckingham, Mike Deodato, Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, and more! Special Bonus: a never-published 8-page Moore/Totleben story, "Lux Brevis", and an unused Moore script!
This superb book could also be titled "Everything you wanted to know about Miracleman, but were afraid to ask".
It's not just the definitive story of Marvelman/Miracleman through the years, it's a discussion on how comics operated in the late-eighties/early-nineties, it's a treatise on one character inspiring a dozen creators, it's the inside scoop on how Alan Moore's mind works, and it's a lecture on the complexity of copyright laws, especially when you look at them from an international perspective.
You get: an introduction by Alex Ross; an overview of Miracleman's publication history; interviews with Mick Anglo (creator of Marvelman), Alan Moore, Dez Skinn, Garry Leach, Alan Davis, Chuck Austen, Rick Veitch, John Totleben, cat yronwode, Neil Gaiman, Mark Buckingham, Barry Windsor-Smith, and Beau Smith; Moore's original series proposal; a timeline for the "Quality Universe"; colour reproductions of every cover; an index to all Miracleman stories; Moore's script for the first episode plus reproductions of the pages from that episode; a previously unpublished Moore and Totleben eight page story; Totleben's sketchbook pages; and five more pages from the unpublished #25
