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 Silver Age", following Alan Moore's ultimate superhero battle that ended his run on the title.
The start of THE SILVER AGE storyline, which saw the resurrection of Young Miracleman and would describe the beginnings of trouble in Miracleman's idyllic world.
Jumping further into the future, the issue returned the focus to the Miracleman family, specifically on the revival of Young Miracleman.
MARK BUCKINGHAM (collaborator on GAIMAN'S SANDMAN and DEATH series) lavishly illustrates this fantastic high quality full color comic book printed on high quality paper stock.
Published by ECLIPSE COMICS in 1990. This item is long out of print and will be unlikely reprinted due to the bankruptcy of Eclipse and the subsequent lawsuits between TODD MCFARLANE and NEIL GAIMAN over ownership of the character.

About the Author
Neil Gaiman wrote the award-winning graphic novel series The Sandman, and with Terry Pratchett, the award-winning novel Good Omens. His first book for children, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, illustrated by Dave McKean, hasn't yet won any awards, but was one of Newsweek's Best Children's Books of 1997. Angels & Visitations, a small press story collection, was nominated for a World Fantasy Award and won the International Horror Critics Guild Award for Best Collection, despite not having any horror in it. Well, hardly any.Born in England, he now makes his home in America, in a big dark house of uncertain location where he grows exotic pumpkins and accumulates computers and cats. He is currently at work turning his first novel Neverwhere into a film for Jim Henson films.
