New York Comic Con News: During Joe Quesada’s "Cup of Joe" panel at the New York Comic Con, Quesada played a videotaped message from Neil Gaiman who announced that Marvel was bringing Marvelman/Miracleman back to print and finally completing the story arc that he began writing over 25 years ago and which he called some of the best work of his life.  Gaiman referenced the famous Miracleman #25 issue, which was written drawn and lettered but "has been sitting in the darkness, nobody’s seen it."
 
Created in 1954 as a UK-only replacement for Captain Marvel, Marvelman was revived in 1982 in a new brilliant fashion by Alan Moore (with art by Gary Leach and Alan Davis)  and continued by Gaiman who was up to the unenviable task of following Moore as writer on the book.  It is this 1980s version of Marvelman, which was published here in Eclipse Comics as "Miracleman," that Marvel will begin reprinting in January, though it appears likely that Alan Moore will not let his name be used..

Quesada stated that Marvel plans to begin publishing the complete run of the long out-of-print Marvelman/Miracleman material in January of 2014, eventually concluding the process by finally completing the story arc that Gaiman and artist Mark Buckingham began so long ago.  Marvel acquired the rights to Marvelman/Miracleman back in in 2009 (see "'Marvelman' to Marvel").
