It’s pretty incredible to read this, really Moore’s first genuine foray into comic writing, and see just how many of his recurring tropes and themes find their way into this book. You’ve got a deeply subversive approach to superhero mythology that simultaneously pays homage to the superhero writing of his childhood; gigantic, mind-bending ideas about space and time; superheroes as a New Pantheon; a deep disdain for Margaret Thatcher; horrifically disturbed yet sympathetic villains; and, of course, the theme that Sex Rules. The guy simply loves sex and wants you to love it too. Don’t worry, Alan! We love sex!

Part of Skinn's informal agreement with Anglo was the potential to earn royalties from reprints of vintage material; this combined with the positive reception to Marvelman in particular led to the publication of the fateful Marvelman Special in 1984. [4] Moore and Davis provided wrapping sequences that framed the strips as an epilogue to Book One, featuring a pair of unnamed cleaners tidying the Project Zarathustra bunker while watching some of the video cassettes held there - the revival having retconned the characters' older adventures as dreams induced by Emil Gargunza. [17] This conceit allowed reprints of material from Marvelman, Young Marvelman and Marvelman Family to be printed without disrupting continuity, as well as a Big Ben strip previously created by Skinn (who was credited under the pseudonym Edgar Henry) and artist Ian Gibson, the character having appeared as a guest in the Marvelman strip.

A three-year hiatus followed, with Marvel Senior Vice President of Publishing Tom Brevoort assuring fans that it would be published as "soon as everything is ready". [73] Quesada would attribute the delay to wanting to "do it right", including acquiring original artwork and high-quality Photostats for restoration. Others have noted other potential factors, including ongoing uncertainty over who owned the 'Miracleman trademark (speculated to have actually been owned by McFarlane) and negotiations with Moore over the permission Marvel needed to reprint his work. [39] By 2012 Marvel had secured the 'Miracleman' trademark [74] and at New York Comic Con 2013 announced the reprints and eventual continuation would use this name, contrary to previous proclamations. [75] [76] [22] Marvel opted to title the revival material 'Miracleman', while retaining 'Marvelman' for potential future use. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Quesada said this was because it "was the coolest name" and was the name Marvel staff used when discussing the character. [77] He and Miraclewoman reshape the world into a utopia. All the practical ills of human society are cured, and the offer of superhuman powers and children is gradually taken up by a humanity who regard the Miracleman Family as gods. The pantheon of new gods build Olympus, a huge temple in the ruins of Central London where they are worshipped by human acolytes. Despite having created a utopia, Miracleman is haunted by Liz’s accusation that he has lost touch with his humanity. Far from the ooh-rah militarism of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Moore and his collaborators make the case that we ought to care what happens to superheroes—indeed, ought to be made uncomfortable by their influence.
