VERY interasting MM news for us MiracleFans! Here's the link with the full article! http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=21344
What was once thought a bankruptcy of the original publisher Miller, turns out to have been the winding up and closing down of the company,
John Campbell and his brother of Emotiv Records in Glasgow formed a relationship with Mick Anglo, and currently represent his rights in the matter.
And Moore recently stated that he was happy for his work to be used to help Mick Anglo out in that respect, whether that be in reprints, a cartoon series or whatever.
It's this "whatever" that is causing some concern, however.
One proposal, to circumvent a number of rights issues, would be to take Moore's original scripts for the series and offer them to other artists to draw, And as the current state of play have none of the Marvelman/Miracleman artists owning any rights to the series as a whole, this proposed "remake" would see them without a penny in royalties.
And this wouldn't cover the Neil Gaiman/Mark Buckingham issues either.
Expect to see a number of possibilities, and versions of the series in the near future. though not necessarily the version you actually want. As Steve Bissette said, if you want this series, find the cheapest way to buy the issues of the original series - and do it now. *end*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If I'm following this correctly, this means there will be NEW MM issues, but they will be a retelling of the original story by Alan Moore just with new artists. If done right thry could have a hit on there hands! but then my question is WHO is going to be publishing these books? For us fans of Alan Moore & Miracleman the coming year or two will be very interasting indeed.
