Mister Miracle Makes His Debut, Jack Kirby Classic On Auction Today

Mister Miracle will always be my personal favorite from Jack Kirby's New Gods, and it is criminal that more people are not more aware of these characters. Man, I really wish that movie or show or whatever from Ava DuVernay would have happened. I would give anything to see Mister Miracle on a big screen. An escape artist based on the real-life exploits of Jim Steranko, he also has one of the best costumes in comics. Kirby really knocked this one out of the park, and taking bids at Heritage Auctions today is a CGC 6.5 copy of the book. The best part for us collectors- as of this writing, it is at only $41. This deserves to go much higher, but someone is going to get a deal for now. Check it out below.
