Glory #20

In "Troubled Waters," Glory faces a dire crisis as the Chatsworth Bridge teeters on collapse amid rising floodwaters, forcing her to confront both the physical danger and her strained relationship with her mother—whose recent criticism of Glory’s efforts to protect humans now takes on new weight. With Neptune and Vulcan’s schemes unraveling in the wake of Glory and Demeter’s intervention, the stakes rise as nature itself seems to test the young heroine’s resolve. Written by Jo Duffy and illustrated by J. Morrigan, with inks by Lary Stucker and a striking cover by Morrigan and Stucker, this 1997 issue blends environmental urgency with personal conflict in a moment that defines Glory’s path.
