Well, posting the question to an appropriate newsgroup would be a good start.

Yep. <smile> #24 was the last issue, probably ever.

Todd, Marlowe has apparently bought the rights to Miracleman. It
might actually continue.

Of course, if Marlowe has the rights now, and isn't just struggling to get
them, the delay *might* be while they're waiting for gaiman and Buckingham
to finish the Silver Age.
At least, if they *do* publish the series, I would expect it to be in GN
format. I don't think they've ever published any monthlies...

The last issue I got was Issue Two of the silver age. The
cover is by Barry Windsor Smith with Kid Miracleman flying.

: Who are Marlowe, and what else have they published?

"Marlowe" is Marlowe and Company (IIRC), the same company who has put out
the Sam and Max compilation and is bringing The Cowboy Wally Show back
next year (at which time they'll probably be canonized by RACites...)
AFAIK, this would be the first case of them doing original material, instead
of just reprints.

The release that was posted on the Net did not really paint a rosy
picture for new material. At least the possibility can now exist.
I'm just relieved to finally get *some* kind of resolution.

I'm wondering: are there any stories already completed that were
never published? If so, sounds like we have a good chance of seeing
them.

I believe Neil has said he and Mark had finished one more issue
that never appeared due to Eclipse's money troubles.

Wow, now *that* sounds cool :)
I suppose if you can direct colorists, pencilers, word artists, etc,
movies couldn't be that far off...

Something to look forward to, at any rate.

According to their press release over in rac.info, they're currently


only planning to reprint existing material, actually. They hope to do
new stuff, but Neil is real busy right now (and might be taking a year
off from comics to direct a movie.)
