DC Start Here: Mister Miracle #1 (Mature)

Discover the mind-bending, existential masterpiece that redefined a classic Fourth World icon with DC Start Here: Mister Miracle #1. Written by the Eisner Award-winning mastermind Tom King (Batman, Supergirl) and illustrated by the phenomenal Mitch Gerads (The Sheriff of Babylon), this highly affordable reprint issue provides the perfect entrance into one of the most critically acclaimed and universally decorated comic series of the modern era.

Scott Free is the greatest escape artist to ever live. He successfully defected from the fiery nightmare of Apokolips, escaped the horrific orphanages of Granny Goodness, and built a peaceful life on Earth alongside his warrior wife, Big Barda. Under the stage name Mister Miracle, he has achieved immense celebrity status, wowed the masses, and even fought alongside the Justice League.

But despite having everything, Scott feels a dark, creeping void closing in. He has mastered every trap, eluded every jail, and survived every lethal puzzle except for one final illusion: death itself. To pull off his most ultimate trick, Mister Miracle does the unthinkable—he plans to take his own life just to see if he can escape the grave. What follows is a breathtaking, psychological thrill ride that blurs the lines between cosmic super-god reality and suburban domestic life.

As a centerpiece of DC Comics' "Start Here" dollar-issue lineup, this reprint is specially curated for mainstream consumers, casual comic enthusiasts, and collectors looking for an instant classic. By stripping away dense continuity and dropping readers directly into the tense, self-contained psychological masterpiece of the King/Gerads run, it acts as an ideal, low-investment sampler that leaves customers eager to grab the follow-up collected trade paperbacks.
