Editing Miracleman (character) (section)

===1982–1985===
{{main|Miracleman}}
In 1981 [[Dez Skinn]] opted to revive the character for anthology ''Warrior''. After his preferred choices turned him down, he became aware of Alan Moore's similar interest in reviving the character and requested a proposal. Impressed by the writer's ideas, Skinn commissioned Moore as writer for the strip, which debuted in the first issue of ''Warrior'' in March 1982.<ref name=KDS>{{cite book |last=Khoury |first=George |author-link= |date=2001 |title=Kimota!

He modelled the revised Marvelman on actor [[Paul Newman]] and redesigned the chest insignia into a more modern style. Leach and Moore opted for a graceful look for the character in contrast to the more common musclebound superhero archetype.<ref name=KGL>{{cite book |last=Khoury |first=George |author-link= |date=2001 |title=Kimota!

The strip was a critical success, winning Favourite Comic Character (UK) at the 1984 [[Eagle Awards]],<ref name=Eagles>{{cite web|url=http://www.eagleawards.co.uk/category/previous-winners/1984/ |title=1984 |website=[[Eagle Awards]]|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314223905/http://www.eagleawards.co.uk/category/previous-winners/1984 |archive-date=March 14, 2012 }}</ref> and continued to be a success when [[Alan Davis]] took over as artist. Vintage Gower Street material would also be reprinted in the one-off ''Marvelman Special'', with the conceit it presented imaginary adventures of the character. However, creative differences between Moore<ref name=KAM/> and Davis would lead to the strip stalling in 1985; while [[Grant Morrison]] was eager to take over ''Marvelman'' the dispute would prevent the strip from returning before ''Warrior'' was cancelled in 1985 after its losses became unsustainable for Skinn.<ref name=KDS/>
