The character was devised to make use of extant material after publishers L. Miller & Son decided to switch their Marvelman and Young Marvelman comics to reprint status in 1960. As a result Anglo set up his own Anglo Features label to make further use of completed material produced by Gower Studios. The name Captain Miracle had previously been considered for Marvelman during that character's creation in 1954. The character was redesigned with short sleeves, gloves and bare legs, and the "MM" logo was replaced by a simple arrow. The 28-page monthly comic also included other strips either from Gower Studios' inventory or imported from American publishers, such as Western-themed strips based on Belle Starr and Daniel Boone. Neither Anglo Features nor Captain Miracle were a success, and the title ended after 9 monthly issues in June 1961 when Anglo folded the imprint and instead returned Gower Studios to work for hire with Thorpe & Porter. Anglo would revisit the template again while devising Super Hombre for Spanish publisher Editorial Ferma, which was subsequently imported and published by Thorpe & Porter as Miracle Man. In 1989, the character made a guest appearance in Grant Morrison's 2000AD strip Zenith as one of a large number of multiversal superheroes battling the Lloigor. Described by one character as one of "the most powerful crime-fighters on any alternative", Captain Miracle is accidentally left behind on a doomed parallel Earth along with fellow powerhouse Ace Hart. Both are possessed by the Lloigor but are eventually destroyed by their erstwhile allies during an attempt to destroy Zenith's Earth, with Captain Miracle being overwhelmed after punching Tanya of The Amazing Three in the face hard enough to decapitate her. Although somebody has defaced certain pages with their own unique artwork the original illustrations are stylish and the story is captivating, making it a must-have for any vintage collectables enthusiast. Made in the United Kingdom, this comic book is a true gem of its time. Don't miss out on the chance to add this piece of history to your collection.
