Glorie

Glorie is a supporting character in Image Comics' surrealist series The Maxx, inhabiting the psychologically layered world shared by Julie Winters, the Maxx, and Mr. Gone — a reality that blurs the boundaries between the real world and a dreamlike alternate dimension called the Outback.

Born in the pages of Sam Kieth and Bill Messner-Loebs' landmark The Maxx #1 in 1993, Glorie is one of the distinctive supporting voices woven through Image Comics' most surrealist, psychologically rich series of the Copper/Modern Age. Across a remarkable span stretching all the way to 2016, she shares her strange, dreamlike world with some of the era's most memorable characters — Maxx, Mr. Gone, Julie Winters, and Sara among them — a roster that signals just how deep into The Maxx's layered storytelling she reaches. With a key-issue appearance to her name and a presence that carried through reprints and the Maxximized reissues, Glorie is the kind of character that rewards the dedicated collector who wants to know every corner of one of indie comics' true cult classics.
