Personally I think Miracleman is a much better name for the character anyway - especially when you consider how Alan Moore's run on the character ends up.

Finally, while working in a used book store, I decided to open a copy instead of just throwing it into the bin at 50 cents a pop like I usually did, and discovered it was written by Alan Moore. Man, am I glad I finally wised up. This is a great series. And pretty easy to find dirt cheap, for those that haven't read it. I passed this over for so long because it was early-90s Image.
