Miracle Comics featured Sky Wizard, the 'world's greatest scientist' with a headquarters on a floating island in the sky. GoldenAge sponsored
\nThe debut comic book effort from magazine and paperback publisher Hillman Periodicals, the Miracle Comics series ran for four issues from early 1940 to early 1941. Hillman's comic book line and this title itself were developed under the auspices of Hillman editors Tony Field and Lionel White, with White soon becoming the publisher's Editor in Chief. The title's protagonist was the Sky Wizard, the world's greatest scientist with a headquarters on a floating island in the sky.
Schurmacher was inspired by news accounts of footprints in the Himalayas ascribed to a race of giant snowmen, a reported German effort to mine the skies against invading airplanes, and methods of growing vegetables in water known as hydroponics that was being introduced in newspapers in the late 1930s. With these elements in play, Sky Wizard's adventures took on a life of their own.
