Groove's Faves: "Eclipse" by Englehart, Rogers, and Colletta

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Has Ol' Groove got a treat for you today! It's the second installment of Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers' Mister Miracle revival from MM #20 (July 1977), "Eclipse"! Not only is this action-packed epic chock-full of wall-to-wall action (courtesy penciler Rogers and inker Vince Colletta), not only is it filled with nifty character bits (courtesy writer Englehart), but it has some of the coolest sound effects ever to grace a comicbook page (courtesy letterer John Workman, no doubt with input from Rogers). Listen up and check it out!
