Mister Miracle: DC Compact Comics Edition

Eisner Award–winning creators Tom King and Mitch Gerads deliver a visionary, reality-bending reinvention of a Fourth World icon, now brilliantly accessible in the DC Compact Comics format. A cosmic escape artist who can break any lock. A war between gods that spans universes. And at the center of it all—a man confronting the one trap even he cannot slip: himself. Tom King (Batman, The Vision) and Mitch Gerads (Strange Adventures) craft an award-winning psychological epic that reshapes Jack Kirby’s New God into a modern masterwork of myth and tension. Scott Free—Mister Miracle—has escaped every prison, conquered every illusion, and survived Apokolips itself. But when he begins to doubt the nature of his own reality, the escape artist faces a new kind of terror: the creeping suspicion that he may not be able to trust his senses, his memories, or even his freedom. Through haunting imagery, grounded emotional detail, and cinematic pacing, King and Gerads blur the line between cosmic spectacle and intimate character drama. This DC Compact Comics edition distills the groundbreaking first issue of one of the most celebrated superhero reinventions of the century—portable, accessible, and as gripping as ever. Collects Mister Miracle #1-12, the multiple Eisner Award-winning comic book series that serves as the inspiration for an animated series currently in development from Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios.
