This critically acclaimed and ground-breaking comic book series was originally created and written by the legendary Alan Moore. With Moore's departure from the series, Neil Gaiman stepped in to complete the run with equally impressive stories.

If you have never read Miracleman, then you are missing out on one of the finest comics ever written, and one that changed the comics industry, creating paradigm for all future Comic writers to follow.

When Eclipse gathered together some of the top talents in the comics industry to work on their own versions of Miracleman, whom Alan Moore so masterfully resurrected, this title somehow seemed appropriate. In Apocrypha, eleven creative teams were given a shot at telling a story that featured what they thought would be the perfect Miracleman scenario.

The list of creators included Alex Ross (Marvels) Neil Gaiman (Sandman) Norm Breyfogle (Prime) Stefan Petrucha (The X-Files), and many more. These stories were printed in this three-issue anthology series. A framing story by Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham shows Miracleman--a man become like God--reading them as comic books in order to discover the nature of human aspiration.
