CI #128 - the Miracleman cover that never was

A recent Facebook chat took me down a Miracleman rabbit-hole recently...Suffice it to say the (first) cover below was used in the Diamond Previews catalogue cover BUT Todd McFarlane saw it and threatened to sue Comics International if it was used. So it wasn't used...

The issue contains 5 pages all about Miracleman, including Mark Buckingham's original artwork for issue 25 which at that point was unpublished.

Here's the original chat...
