It was popular in a post-war Britain, where there was very little else to entertain the young. But Marvel struggled to sell their reprint volumes, and there was *never* any outcry for reprints of those old stories when Miracleman was big. If you're still not convinced, buy one of the reprint books Marvel did. The past, as a wise man once said, is a different country.
