MIRACLEMAN : THE SILVER AGE #0-7 (Neil Gaiman / Mark Buckingham)

La série Miracleman : The Silver Age de Neil Gaiman et Mark Buckingham a été déprogrammée par l’éditeur Marvel Comics juste après la conclusion de la saga The Golden Age (la troisième période étant simplement titrée The Dark Age).

Les numéros concernés seront re-sollicités plus tard dans l’année lorsque la Maison des Idées aura collecté suffisamment de matériel de la part des deux auteurs, et particulièrement de la part de l’artiste Mark Buckingham qui prend un repos bien mérité depuis la conclusion de l’œuvre Fables.

Notons tout de même que la première moitié de The Silver Age est déjà inscrite sur la planche à dessin puisque c’est juste après la conception des deux premiers numéros de ce récit que la série Miracleman fut annulée dans les années 90 en Angleterre.

Le premier recueil compilant les quatre premiers numéros de Gaiman et Buckingham débarque en France le 11 mai chez Panini Comics.

Profitons-en car le suivant ne devrait pas pointer le bout de son nez avant 2017, voire 2018.

Kimota !

Je n’avais pas remarqué mais ça m’étonnerait fortement.

Arf c’est long ><

Miracleman sera finalement de retour en octobre 2022, avec la fin annoncée de la saga The Silver Age.

MIRACLEMAN RETURNS: Marvel Comics had announced that Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham’s Miracleman: The Silver Age Saga will return in October. The two creators will complete their unfinished Miracleman storyline The Silver Age, including remastered editions of the first two published issues, complete with new artwork and bonus material.

The series will follow the previously announced Miracleman by Gaiman & Buckingham Book 1: The Golden Age TPB, the new collection containing the pair’s first Miracleman series.

« We’re back! And after 30 years away it is both thrilling and terrifying, » Buckingham said. "Neil and I have had these stories in our heads since 1989 so it is amazing to finally be on the verge of sharing them with our readers.

« I have pushed myself to my limit to craft something special for these issues. Cinematic in approach, clean and elegant, drawing on the best of my own style but also paying homage to the exceptional talents of all who came before us, whose unique visions have shaped this ground-breaking series over forty years, and the 1950’s Marvelman foundations on which it was built. »

C’est ce qui est prévu, vu cette phrase de la présentation Marvel…

After 30 years, fans will finally see the full incredible story of Young Miracleman with more to come!

Ah ouais, donc il a re-dessiné les pages. Je peux comprendre pourquoi. La différence graphique en 30 ans est assez importantes.
J’espère quand même que Marvel sera suffisamment intelligente pour proposer les deux versions dans le recueil.
