''Miracleman: The Silver Age'' is a comic storyline by writer Creator/NeilGaiman and artist Mark Buckingham, the second part of their ComicBook/{{Miracleman}} trilogy.
The trilogy as a whole is a sequel to Creator/AlanMoore's run on ''Miracleman'', which ended with the titular superhuman transforming Earth into a new utopia. ''The Golden Age'', the first part of Gaiman and Buckingham's story, explored the lives of ordinary people in that extraordinary world. ''The Silver Age'' shifts its focus to Dickie Dauntless, 'Young Miracleman', a long-dead teen superhero who's now revived in a world he no longer recognises.
The first issues of ''The Silver Age'' were initially published in 1992-1993 by Eclipse Comics as part of the ongoing ''Miracleman'' series, as ''The Golden Age'' had been, but Eclipse ceased publication and the series was cancelled just two issues into the arc.
After Creator/MarvelComics acquired the rights to the character, it was announced that the existing issues would be completed and Gaiman and Buckingham would then return to finish the arc with new material. In 2022, it was also announced that Buckingham had chosen to completely redraw the two existing issues as part of that republication.
The first Marvel issue is scheduled for publication on October 12 2022.
