Alan Moore's entrancing fantasy masterpiece is collected in an all-new Deluxe Edition hardcover format featuring the spectacular art of J.H. Williams III.
Alan Moore is perhaps the most acclaimed writer in the graphic story medium, having garnered countless awards for works such as Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, Miracleman and Swamp Thing. He is also the mastermind behind the America's Best Comics line, through which he has created (along with many talented illustrators) The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Promethea, Tom Strong, Tomorrow Stories and Top 10. As one of the medium's most important innovators since the early 1980s, Moore has influenced an entire generation of comics creators, and his work continues to inspire an ever-growing audience. Moore resides in central England.
"Alan Moore, J.H. Williams III, et. al, have transcended the dull
routine of ordinary comic books, just as the heroine transcends the
lowest "sephiroths" of the Kabbalah. Through ingenuity of form and
a willingness to travel to new places, Promethea reaches for the
heavens." --Time
"Powerful." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Awash in references to mythology, literature, religion, and
arcania, Moore's intricately crafted philosophical work is a
dazzling smorgasbord depicted through equally intricate and varied
color artwork." --Library Journal
"Armed with an acute knowledge of how comics worked and driven by
an affection for comicdom's past, a desire to take it forward, and
a dislike of most work being done at the time, Moore raised the bar
for mainstream narrative comic storytelling to previously unscaled
heights." --A.V. Club
