caddymanAs a comic book reader of somne years standing, I am rather surprised that I never made the connection before.
Last I recall, Miracleman's1 alter ego, Mike Moran (a journalist, not the record producer) had left a note to his other self asking to be left in limbo and then uttered his 'magic word' to become Miracleman permanently. It was a form of suicide in that he couldn't cope with being ordinary when there was a supepowered version of himself available. Poignant enough in a four-colour way.
I am a little worried, therefore, to make the following connection. Does Miracleman have another, equally feckless alter ego that just won't let go? One that spends his life desperately trying to remember the magic word that will turn him into a God?
Fair hair, dark eyebrows and a red book? Sound familiar? Let me jog your memory:
I for one am worried.
Remember the word, "Abraxas" (/comic geek). It will come in handy if the Chancellor ever remembers his word.
