For sale today is a new/sealed copy of the very rare and out-of-print (oop) Marvel Comics hardcover (hc) graphic novel Miracleman (Book Three): Olympus by Alan Moore, published in 2015. It is the Art Adams variant cover edition.

Art Adams Cover
Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Olympus!" Collects material from Miracleman (2014) #11-16 and All New Miracleman Annual (2014) #1.

The first era of the critically acclaimed MIRACLEMAN saga reaches its climax! As the alien Qys close in, a hidden survivor of Project Zarathustra is revealed! Mankind's fate hangs in the balance before a tribunal of the Warpsmiths, while Johnny Bates' torment sets the stage for the horrific return of Kid Miracleman. Pushing the concept of the super hero to its logical conclusion, OLYMPUS presents a vision of a utopia as shocking as it compelling in one of the most challenging works of super-hero fiction, finally back in print after more than 20 years.
Plus: In a pair of all-new tales, Joe Quesada illustrates Grant Morrison's lost Miracleman story, a disturbing confrontation prior to the Battle of London - and Peter Milligan and Mike Allred reunite for a new Miracleman classic!

I am not a comics grader, but I try to be as thorough as possible when assessing books for any flaws. I don't believe in using a number grade system - to me they are mostly utilized as a method to be ambiguous about exact condition and/or individual imperfections - but I do attempt to describe anything other than minor cover shelf-scuffing/scratching in detail. If a certain flaw discussed below does not mention that it affects inside pages, then it does not.

Any reference to certain areas of books can be seen in the photos above. The sections are:

*Photo#4: Upper spine corner

*Photo#5: Lower spine corner

*Photo#6: Front cover top edge/outer corner

*Photo#7: Front cover bottom edge/outer corner

*Photo#8: Back cover top edge/outer corner

*Photo#9: Back cover bottom edge/outer corner

This copy is still new and (almost entirely) in the manufacturer's sealed plastic wrap. From its change of hands over time, the sealed wrap has been broken in a few spots (all but one break are tiny to small in size), and it has some lesser flaws:

*Upper spine corner has a small break in the plastic wrap/ding/indent where it meets the front cover.

*Lower spine corner has tiny breaks in the plastic wrap/dings/scuffs where it meets each cover. ~1/2" indent around it where it meets back cover as well.

*Front cover's top outer corner has a tiny break in plastic wrap/scuff/peel.

*Front cover's bottom outer corner has a small break in plastic wrap/tiny ding.

*Back cover's top outer corner has a tiny break in plastic wrap.

*Back cover's bottom outer corner has a tiny break in plastic wrap/scuff.

*~1.5" Break in plastic wrap/publisher's remainder ink mark on pages' bottom edge near spine corner (photo#5).

*~2.5" line of small breaks in plastic wrap on front cover near top edge.

I both buy to read as well as sell TPBs on here, so I understand how aggravating it is to receive a comic damaged in transit. I always pack books firmly between pieces of cardboard (among other materials/layers) via Gemini Comic mailers or bubble mailers depending on size; usually utilizing boxes for larger lots. If you have any questions or would like any additional photos, feel free to let me know. I'm always happy to combine shipping costs - either message me before completing purchase for a pre-payment price adjustment, or alternatively I can provide a refund afterwards. Thanks, and have a superb day!
