☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the complete 32-issue run of Alan Moore and J.H. Williams III's groundbreaking series, which explores the power of imagination through the mythic figure of Promethea, a living story who manifests in the real world. The narrative follows Sophie Bangs, a college student who becomes the latest host for this immortal entity, embarking on a journey that blends superhero adventure with deep philosophical and mystical themes. The series is renowned for its innovative art and complex, multi-layered storytelling that culminates in a visionary exploration of the afterlife and the nature of reality.
In "Rocks and Hard Places," Sophie's journey through the Immateria deepens as she encounters Bill and learns the significance of the Pentacles, while in the waking world, a gathering of powerful figures—her mother, the mayor, the Painted Doll, Benny Solomon, and the Goetia—converge at a hospital where Sophie lies unconscious. Just as Marv of the Five Swell Guys arrives, Bill returns her to her body, moments before the Painted Doll and the Goetia launch their separate attacks. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated with breathtaking detail by J. H. Williams III, with coloring by Jeromy Cox and José Villarrubia, and lettered by Todd Klein, this issue’s cover by J. H. Williams III captures the surreal tension of Sophie’s dual reality.
