6. Miracleman

Where would this list be without an Alan Moore reinvention?

Of course, if we're picking one, it's gotta be Miracleman. Waaaaaaaay back when, DC sued Fawcett to stop it from publishing Captain Marvel. The company that was buying that material for overseas reprints decided to just file off the serial numbers and create Marvelman which was based on exactly the same idea, but with a different name. That later became Miracleman, and when Alan Moore got his hands on it, his version was dark and brutal, as always.

Miracleman reverted to human form, and as Michael Moran, forgot about his life as a hero. When he accidentally remembered, he reawakened not only himself, but his old allies as well. But when he went to visit the man he thinks USED to be Kid Miracleman, it goes very badly.

Miracleman features some of the best characters and scariest villains in all of Moore's work. It's hardly even close. There is one particular panel in the first volume that’s burned into my brain forever because of how much it scares me.

One hell of a good book.
