Joe #2 along with Sunrise Comics (prior to that Marvel didn't reprint specific books). Except Star Wars #1-6 and GI Joe #3-5.... But it is interesting, as these are essentially just raw signed copies with a little hand made certificate..not even as high quality as the later DF books.

Popular Post Michael Browning Posted June 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2020 Gosh, I remember when I started digging around for information on these probably 15 years ago because I was trying my best to get Overstreet to fix the listing in the Price Guide and they wouldn’t. I found a guy in the Pacific Northwest who sold a single-digit copy for $1,500 and wrote an article for CBG that got a lot of attention for the golds and blues and Overstreet (for whom I was, at that time, a longtime advisor) still didn’t want to put in the correct information. They had them listed as a gold and a silver variant, if I recall correctly. They said there wasn’t enough sales data to update the listing (with only 51 known, is there still enough sales data by their stands?). I owned two golds and two blues and paid quite a bit for them because there was a small pocket of the Miracleman collecting community who knew about these and when they bid on them, they bid high and often. Not many MM collectors would acknowledge their existence because once they did and others knew these were real, then the prices would go up and their chances of getting one would be hindered. Once that CBG article hit the streets, the golds and blues started coming out of the woodwork and prices dropped for awhile. One of the golds I bought from eBay appeared in the CBG article and the seller of the comic was so enraged that I bought it from him and used it in the article (and after he saw what the other copy had sold for), that he emailed CBG’s offices and accused me of stealing it from him. He said I bought it on eBay from him and didn’t pay. How in the heck could I have gotten it if I hadn’t paid for it? He wouldn’t have shipped it until I paid, so that and the fact that I had all the receipts and correspondence was proof that I didn’t steal it. The editor of CBG emailed me and accused me of stealing it because he was taking the word of this unscrupulous eBay seller before he even asked me about the transaction and I produced all of the correspondence and receipts to show that I had paid and the seller had left me good feedback. (As a side note, I only wrote one more article for CBG afterwards and that was the obituary for my friend John Albano, who was the co-creator of Jonah Hex.) I was so disenchanted with the whole situation that I got rid of just about every MM piece I owned. I traded a set of my golds and blues with a page from MM 16, some John Totleben sketches and two pages of Miracleman Triumphant to a collector in Seattle for some Jonah Hex original artwork and my second set of golds and blues were sold to Lone Star Comics so I could buy more original art and I believe they had them graded. I know both sets of golds and blues had those little creases on the front cover that a lot of them had. It’s hard to imagine that, after all these years, there are only 51 known copies of the gold #1. I don’t actively collect MM anymore and haven’t for years, except that I did help with getting original art for the Marvel reprint of MM #12 and the volume 3 hardcover and I still have the John Totleben cover art to a British fanzine that featured MM. It was fun shining the spotlight on these truly rare comics and I’m glad to see this thread still going.

Others like to claim that ALL of the golds had that crease, but I can't find it on my #93. Perhaps the phenomenon is limited to a certain number range? Btw, the number of known copies is higher than 51 as the listing in the OP hasn't been updated for a while. EDIT: Never mind (found the crease)!

JGELL Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Thoughts on recent Miracleman mentions on social media and the potential of Donnie Cates working on it? Excited to hear, hopefully things can work out. Wonder if this will cause more unaccounted golds to come out of the wood work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's lame (but, typical for Marvel). Of course, it might just be Donny Cates "effing around" like he did when he bought the "cover to MM #1".

Crimebuster Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I don't know anything about this comic, so forgive me with a dumb question. I do have a copy, no signatures or numbers or anything. However, it does seem to have the production defect crease that has been shown and talked about from the early print runs. I'm just wondering if all copies of the book had this, and if not, whether it means anything that it has this defect? Just trying to learn more. Thanks!
