The fact that you can so openly have a montage of Miracleman in various homo-erotic poses shows just how comfortable you are with your self. But then id expect that from one of advanced years. Bravo!! Credit where credits due. 🙂
The hilarious thing is GS you are actually touching on a truth as far as Miracleman is concerned
And isn't the hype a bit much anyway? It is loudly proclaimed as the first gay title character in a mainstream comic. Is that such a big deal? The wildly popular The Authority featured two very prominent gay superheroes, Apollo and the Midnighter. And Alan Moore's legendary Miracleman comic featured a gay hero roughly 20 years ago. Television shows like Six Feet Under, OZ, and Queer as Folk bring homosexual characters to the forefront, and they have mainstream popularity. Are comics just behind the times?

He was bisexual he had sex with Miraclewoman over London
and give his sperm to women
There's a dump-truck full of wacko stuff going on in Miracleman, but a thought that struck me today (largely as a result of reading about the possible facistic overtones of certain characters in Watchmen) is the degree of moral ambivalence in the book. On the one hand, Miracleman himself becomes the most benevolent of all bonevolent god-kings of the Earth, by the end of the series. He rules with compassion, love, wisdom, and infinite kindness.
On the other hand, the word "benevolent" should clue you in that he's actually a benevolent dictator. He doesn't take over the world as much as the world offers itself to him. To employ Moore's own sexual metaphors, Miracleman's rulership is not a rape, it's willing and extatic copulation between him and the rest of the world. Miracleman even has his frozen semen freely dispenced to any woman in the world who wants to have her very own miracle baby, who will, of course, grow up to be beautiful, powerful, and wise. Not to mention they hump like bunnies.

Several issues were almost banned, banned in part or had to be revised😄
On the Xmen in Miracleman the Miracle children play out battles taking on X men and Legion bodies and powers in Cities they construct, its a superb parody you would enjoy.
Miracleman is the Legend amongst those that know comics😄
Do a Websearch and see, even those who hate it acknowledge its impact, in 24 issues it paved the way for the future.
Keep the faith😄
Stay Whirly 🤘
