I recently read an article about this comic created by then Image Comics Executive Director Larry Marder (who basically saved the company from the excesses of the founders, those years...) in an old Comics Interview magazine, did you guys buy this Omnibus from Dark Horse and, if yes, what do you think about this....different comic? pirat

Did I buy the omnibus? No.

I bought it in mostly single issues back in the day in the late 1980s/early-to-mid 1990s (and also a tpb of some the issues that came out before I started buying it). It was quirky but fun, and I even got a non-comic book reader friend of mine interested in it. (I also got her reading Sam & Max, Freelance Police by Steve Purcell.)

Wasn't it published by Eclipse?

It was originally published by Larry Marder under "Beanworld Press", then Eclipse got involved with it (until Eclipse went out of business).

Ah, yes. I actually rather liked a lot of Eclipse's output. A shame it ended up in such a mess.

Yes, too bad they ended without publishing comics like, for example, the mini-series Miracleman Triumphant with early American art by Mike Deodato, whose pages (only some of them, really) resurfaced years later...:

That's lovely art. I'm still hoping Gaiman and Buckingham will one day finish Miracleman.

And who knows . . . maybe they can go back to calling him Marvelman again? Wink

That may be too much to ask...sigh...
