128-page hardcover collection titled 'Olympus' that collects Miracleman #11 - #16 (1985 series)
This edition of Miracleman is undoubtedly scarce but for some time, the substantial dollar value associated with Miracleman hardcover and softcover collected trades were the result of legal issues preventing the stories from being reprinted which has since changed though it is reasonable that demand for this particular hardcover with dustjacket continues to command the value that it does
First printing, December 1990
