I have the original Alan Moore run but having never read the Gaiman Miracleman, I figure I would give this a try. I just a bought a pristine copy for $12.95.

Did I make out OK?

You did....? Seller is shipping it for free....?

:wink:

Apocrypha is not as in demand as the rest of the trades, mainly because the original books aren't part of the series, and they're readily available.

But you got a decent deal, shipping included. :thumb:

And before someone comes along and says "no, no, it just got missed, that's a SUPER low price!" there are a LEGION of Miracleman collectors who search for these books VORACIOUSLY...and it's a small enough "search" that a person can be e-mailed for EVERY MM auction on eBay.

It's not something that would have been "missed."

But you still got a good deal. :)

No, this covers Miracleman Apocrypha, a 1991-92 3 issue miniseries featuring "out of continuity" MM stories by various creators...including Alex Ross!
