After co-creating the popular strip Zenith   with artist Steve Yeowell in 2000 AD, Morrison made his mark in America with DC Comics, where he   revived an obscure hero to critical acclaim in his Animal   Man series. In 1989, he wrote the best-selling   Batman graphic novel Arkham Asylum and began a memorably surreal run as writer of the freakish   heroes of DC's Doom Patrol. Subsequent DC projects included Kid   Eternity, Sebastian O, Flex Mentallo, Kill Your Boyfriend, Aztek, Invisibles,   DC One Million, Flash and a hugely popular   revamping of DC's JLA.   Morrison then shifted focus to Marvel Comics, where he had already made a   brief pit-stop co-writing 1995's bizarre Skrull   Kill Krew with Mark Millar. In addition to his   groundbreaking four-year New X-Men run, Morrison's Marvel credits include Fantastic Four- 1234 and Marvel Boy. He has since returned to   DC, where his later credits include Seaguy, WE3,   Vimanarama, JLA- Classified and Seven Soldiers. While serving as a   special creative consultant to DC editorial, Morrison has written All-Star Superman, and the flagship Batman title and its spinoff Batman Inc.; co-written the event   series 52; and served   as the mastermind behind Final Crisis.Peter   Milligan was at the forefront of the 1990s \"British   Invasion,\" introducing a revolutionary new breed of comic books for an adult   audience. His Eisner Award-nominated DC\/Vertigo series Shade the Changing Man offered a   satirical look at American culture from the point of view of an alien visitor   from another dimension. Enigma cemented Milligan's reputation for unparalleled weirdness, and   Human Target's sharp   deconstruction of the action-movie paradigm demonstrated his versatility. But the critically acclaimed Marvel series X-Force (later X-Statix), with   its unique interpretation of the mutant condition, stands   as perhaps his most popular work. His other Marvel credits include X-Men, Sub-Mariner-   The Depths and 5 Ronin.British   artist Garry Leach first made   a name for himself penciling short strips in 2000   AD before helping launch Warrior magazine and its revival of the character Marvelman (later   Miracleman). Leach worked mainly in advertising for years before returning to   comics during the 1990s. He worked frequently as an inker and penciled the   first issue of Global Frequency, written by Warren Ellis. He also illustrated Magic- The Gathering cards.The   career of British-born artist Alan Davis took off like a rocket after his humble beginnings at Marvel   UK. Continuing the collaboration that saw Captain   Britain become an enduring critical and   fan-favorite, the two co-created D.R. and Quinch. Davis broke into U.S. comics with runs on Batman and the Outsiders and Detective Comics. Hired by Marvel   U.S. in 1986, Davis launched Excalibur with Chris Claremont, and the book quickly became one of   Marvel mutantdom's most unique and humorous titles. When Davis took over as   writer, he continued many plot threads from his Captain   Britain run. Davis also created the super-hero   family ClanDestine, and   wrote and drew the DC miniseries JLA- The Nail. After a lengthy arc writing and drawing X-Men, Davis went on to work on the   miniseries Killraven, Fantastic Four- The End and a ClanDestine revival. He has also   illustrated writer Brian Michael Bendis' Avengers   Prime and contributed to the status-quo-changing X-Men- Schism, later helping   relaunch Wolverine with   writer Paul Cornell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a standard paperback\/soft cover version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIRACLEMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42439340720319,"sku":"9781302953256","price":127.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/0xzi--bFKJ7r7jBDQoW3OIfXDItdldBgEdmeYi3ypVA3Q_60_60.jpg?v=1691284689","url":"https:\/\/popweasel.co.nz\/products\/miracleman-the-original-epic","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
