Promethea (Book 1) Overview
Promethea makes a perfect companion to Tom Strong. Promethea, a powerful figure who appeared in Victorian childrens stories and turn-of-the-century comic strips, gains new life through Sophie Bangs, a college student in alternate-reality New York City. But as this exotic heroine leaps into battle, will Sophies personality be able to reemerge when the battle is over?
Promethea (Book 1) Specifications
Alan Moore, like Neil Gaiman, constantly flirts with the too-smart-for-his-own-good aesthetic without alienating his readers. Promethea weaves Moore's trademark scholarly mysticism with wild, fun swipes at post-everything culture in a complex tale based on the importance of story. Following a teenage girl, whose interest in an obscure and possibly real heroine leads to her assumption of the heroine's role, Promethea draws on a century of comics art to express themes of history and fiction. Action, intimacy, fantasy, and ennui all find their place, and when it's over, the reader will hunger for the next collection. --Rob Lightner
