Promethea #15

Promethea gazes upward in radiant bliss, a glowing caduceus rising from her crowned head — its winged staff, entwined serpents, and blazing light forming a breathtaking centerpiece flanked by two mythic attendant figures on either side. J. H. Williams III and Mick Gray deliver a cover that feels simultaneously ancient and electric, bathed in warm amber tones against an ornate geometric backdrop. "Mercury Rising" promises Alan Moore at his most mythologically ambitious, and this August 2001 issue makes that ambition gorgeously visible before you've even opened the cover.
