Miracle Comics #4 marked the end of this short-lived title from Hillman Periodicals, with this final issue considered one of the rarest comics ever released by the veteran paperback publishers. Today, however, it's easy to see how this book has become a true treasure of the Golden Age. Miracle went out with a big bang courtesy of Ed Kressy and Norman Fallon's incredible cover art featuring the crime-fighting super-scientist Sky Wizard. That kind of cover couldn't be ignored by collectors, and neither could the legacy of Sky Wizard. The heroic genius lived on a "stratosphere plane" that was more like a giant floating island, and Sky Wizard is seen in this issue taking on the robots of an evil mastermind. Sadly, we're promised more adventures next month for Sky Wizard and his back-up stars (including dashing spy K-7 and fellow crimefighter the Scorpion)— but instead get this beloved rarity!
______________________________________________
This striking 9.4 copy of Miracle Comics #4 easily tops the scarce 13 copies listed on the CGC Census — and is typical of the outstanding books of the Edgar Church/Mile High pedigree. That's an especially strong endorsement for a comic that sports a cover this beloved and memorable. Miracle Comics #4 is also a typically great find from the anthology books of the Golden Age, featuring powerful art, pre-Code storylines, and enough surprises to satisfy anyone looking for a cheap thrill!
