Promethea #29

Promethea #29 arrives in 2004 as one of the most visually striking issues of the run, with J. H. Williams III's cover paying unmistakable homage to Andy Warhol's pop-art silkscreen style — a grid of repeated portraits of the same intense, otherworldly figure rendered across a dazzling spectrum of bold, clashing colors. A golden sun-face medallion floats at the center of the composition, anchoring the kaleidoscopic repetition with an almost talismanic gravity. With Alan Moore's script and the full creative team behind "Valley of the Dolls," this is an issue that wears its ambitions right on its sleeve.
