THE MIRACLE MAN was Lon Chaney's breakout film after years of appearing in supporting roles. Here he steals the show from the stars, Thomas Meighan and Betty Compson, as "Frog" - a charlatan who can twist his body into appearing as a hopeless cripple to beg for money. The gang of grifters gets more than they bargain for when they decide to make "The Miracle Man" their next mark. A huge hit in its day, this film built on the earlier successes of the novel and play. Despite its stature - audiences who saw the film in 1919 never forgot the "Healing" Scene - the film has been lost for decades and we are left with only a tantalizing two minutes of film to recall its glory. This graphic novel is an effort to make the impact of the legendary film once more available albeit in another form for all to rediscover by adapting many vintage images and following printed accounts of the story and film reviews.
