Wonder Boy	. Another rare Golden page, this one the unpublished cover for what would haave been MISTER MIRACLE 26 in 1978, if not for the "DC Implosion". For many years, I only had a badly xeroxed copy of this from CANCELLED COMIC CAVALCADE 1 and 2, that collected all the comics and covers from the cancelled DC Implosion books. This is the only version I've seen in color, perhaps finally reprinted somewhere else. Michael Golden also illustrated MISTER MIRACLE 23-25 in 1978 (following the Englehart and Rogers run in issues 19-22). To my knowledge, only the cover was finished for issue 26, no story or interior art completed. Issue 23 is inked by Joe Geilla, 24 and 25 are inked by Russ Heath, as is this cover for 26. You can view all these issues here: https://comiconlinefree.net/mister-miracle-1971/issue-23/full https://viewcomiconline.com/mister-miracle-1971-issue-24/ https://comiconlinefree.net/mister-miracle-1971/issue-25/full Golden in 1977-1978 did work at DC for HOUSE OF MYSTERY 257 and 259, HOUSE OF SECRETS 148, 149 and 151, GHOSTS 88, SECRETS OF HAUNTED HOUSE 10, DC SPECIAL SERIES 15 (BATMAN SPECTACULAR), BATMAN 295 (full issue), and 303 (backup story), BATMAN FAMILY 15-20, and DETECTIVE COMICS 482. I love this early Golden work for DC, his pages were beautiful, from the moment he entered comics. Golden's earliest work at Marvel is in MARVEL CLASSICS COMICS 28 in 1977, and in DEFENDERS 53 and 54 , Nov and Dec 1977. The DC Implosion cancelled most of these titles and created a huge inventory of stories at DC, and very little need for new work from freelance artists at DC for a long time, that drove Golden over to Marvel, just in time to be appointed the series artist for MICRONAUTS 1-12, and gorgeous covers on a dozen or so issues after that run. Golden also did beautiful covers later on in 1981 for DEFENDERS 94 and 96 https://viewcomiconline.com/defenders-v1-094/ https://viewcomiconline.com/defenders-v1-096/
