Quote: I have bought 3 of them in the last 2 weeks on ebay It does have original MM content and a great Leach MM cover and KM back cover. I bought one from Mile High Signed NM by Leach for $4.50 last week (happy happy joy joy). It seems you can find signed copies by Leach much easier than the unsigned versions.
Woohoo! I just picked up the signed variant for $8 at a store while I was out Christmas shopping!!! I love that cover and back cover. I really wish we had some more new Miracleman stuff!!!!!

Quote: Kermit, raw you can get them for less than $10 on ebay - though it depends completely on how the seller markets them - try searching on "A1" (in comics) rather than "Miracleman" - there's some for sale now in the ebay stores

If you have seen the variant MM/KM front back cover version, you've seen two of the MM pieces in it. There is another piece that is a tribute to one of the original MM artists, and there is also a page that has the pen and ink version of the U.S. MM #1 cover on it (I don't remember if this was a recreation or if it was the original). The coolest part though, IMHO, is the self portrait of Leach as a lego figure in a quasi-miracleman costume. Its a great surprise of a book. While we're talking about recent MM publications, has every one here gotten/read a copy of Kimota: The Miracleman Companion? Its great - is not too expensive either ($10 - $20 on eBay). Some great interviews and sketches (and you can see one of the previously unpublished Totleben pieces I own - I had no idea the piece had been published, and then while flipping through the book on the can, I saw it - needless to say I was pretty excited). I've seen about 4 copies in my area in the past year, and I snatched them all up to give to friends/fellow miracleman fans. If anybody needs one, let me know and I'll PM you the next time I see one. Thanks!

Thanks Jon! I'm still checking on the Warrior #1's - the guy I know that has a bunch wasn't at the last show I went to. He should be at the Atlanta show on Feb 5 - I'll keep you updated. Thanks! - Keith
Guys Pleased the A1 Sketchbook is getting some interest! I have emailed CBG with the record sale - but they haven't responded as yet... However, Wizard have caught on - from their web-site recently:
"This week's books to get for fun and/or profit: A1 Sketchbook (Atomeka) - It's a good bet that your local shop didn't order this, but it's worth seeking out for the Gary Leech Miracleman pages alone."
You can see the article refers to a limited edition of 3,333 copies (and that's the Warpsmith cover above) - so where I'd get the 500 from?
From solicitation info in Previews - I remember there was a small feature on both the 3,333 and then a seperate feature box for the 500 version - clearly showing the front & rear cover and calling it "the man who says Kimota" (or something similar). Assume it was an edition of Previews from mid-2004?
I bought 3 copies of the 500 and 2 of the 3,333 directly from Atomeka based on this. All 3 of the 500s got CGC 9.8s so I was quite lucky.
