Marvel has been quietly sitting on Marvelman for quite some time now without revealing what they plan to do with the character, leaving those of us who have respect for him on the edge of our seats. This timeless character, made popular by Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman, is impossible to find anywhere (unless you like illegally downloading). I have seen back issues on sale for around $20 each at some stores, but for the large majority of people who want to read these stories, you’re out of luck.
Or are you? Check this out:
Marvel is proud to announce the return of Marvelman to shelves everywhere with the release of MARVELMAN CLASSIC PRIMER #1 in June! Who is the mysterious Marvelman? And just why is he one of the most enduring super heroes of all time? The answers arrive in this commemorative one-shot featuring interviews with creator Mick Anglo, superstar Neil Gaiman and more who contributed to this character’s history over the years! Plus, get all-new pinups of key Marvelman characters by superstar artists Mike Perkins, Doug Braithwaite, Miguel Angel Sepulveda, Jae Lee, Khoi Pham and Ben Oliver! This landmark issue features two covers–one with the timeless art of Mick Anglo and another with the now-iconic rendition of Marvelman by Marvel Editor-In-Chief–and superstar artist–Joe Quesada!
