I know absolutely nothing about SUICIDE SQUAD. I know it was published by DC in the late-80's/early-90's, in the same period as JUSTICE LEAGUE/JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL and JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE ( the JLI and JLE series I love and highly recommend, as I said several pages back in the topic. WTF in a very good way ! )

Any issues you'd recommend to sample SUICIDE SQUAD ?




Also, I'm amazed how little anyone has to say about MIRACLEMAN.

Another aspect of MIRACLEMAN that's WTF is that it was originally MARVELMAN when it appeared one chapter per month in WARRIOR magazine in Britain, from 1981-1982, in the first 15 or so issues (V FOR VENDETTA was also serialized in these same issues of WARRIOR).
When Eclipse Comics first announced that MARVELMAN would be published in the U.S. in 1985, Marvel threatened legal action if it was published as MARVELMAN.

Hence the name change to MIRACLEMAN.

I loved Alan Moore's editorial in the first issue, that if in a few years another company came along called Miracle Comics and sued over the name MIRACLEMAN, they'd continue publishing it as MACKERALMAN, if it came to that.
The first 6 MIRACLEMAN issues reprint the serialized stories from WARRIOR (printed for the first time in color).
Both the Marvelman and V For Vendetta series were abruptly abandoned by Moore, mid-story, before their conclusion, when Alan Moore was offered a job in 1983 writing SWAMP THING for DC.
And both series (Marvelman and V For Vendetta) were later concluded when reprinted in the U.S., with new material added to conclude each series.


The most recent MIRACLEMAN fiasco, between the two men who together own the MIRACLEMAN character and publishing rights (Todd McFarlane and Neil Gaiman) is another giant WTF.

I wonder if we'll ever get past that Gaiman/McFarlane acrimony, and see new trades of these stories.
