Marvelman Acquired by Marvel Comics
It looks like we’ll be seeing new Marvelman stories, but will we ever see collections of Alan Moore’s amazing, Watchmen-like Miracleman? Diamond Daily reports:
As announced during Comic-Con International: San Diego on Friday, July 24, Marvel Comics has acquired the rights to super-hero Marvelman from creator Mick Anglo and his representatives, making the world-renowned character a big part of the House of Ideas. “It is an honor to work with Mick Anglo to bring his creation to a larger audience than ever before,” said Dan Buckley, CEO & Publisher, Print, Animation & Digital Media, Marvel Entertainment Inc. “Fans are in for something special as they discover just what makes Marvelman such an important character in comic book history.”
Originally created in 1954 by Mick Anglo and appearing in some of the most celebrated comic stories of all time, MarvelMan is Micky Moran, a young reporter gifted with the power to save the world by simply uttering the word “kimota”!
Marvel has indicated more big Marvelman news will follow at the DCD Retailer Summit this fall in Baltimore, MD, where exclusive info and more details will be discussed and shared with retailers.
