Sophie Bangs is Promethea: a living embodiment of the imagination, "the dream that waking does not end." As the signature heroine of Alan Moore's AMERICA'S BEST COMICS, Promethea's adventures - Eisner Award-nominated for Best Writer, Penciller/Inker Team, Lettering, New Series, Continuing Series and Single Issue - have fueled one of the most remarkable comic-book series in recent memory. Now the first six issues of the acclaimed series (including PROMETHEA #3, Eisner Award-nominated for Best Single Issue) are collected in PROMETHEA BOOK ONE, a hardcover edition topped with a new cover by series artists J.H. Williams, III and Mick Gray. In these incredible, genre-bending tales of the imagination (written by Moore with art by Williams and Gray (with one passage by guest artist Charles Vess), readers meet Sophie Bangs - a college student in a weirdly futuristic New York - as she researches a term paper on Promethea, a mythical warrior-woman who is reinvented over and over through the centuries. Along the way, she receives a strange warning to give up her inquiries...a warning she only begins to understand when a deadly shadow creature tries to kill her for getting too close to Promethea's secret. That secret transforms young Sophie into the greatest Promethea of all, but she must quickly master the secrets of her heroic predecessors - as well as those of the realm known as the Immateria - or fall prey to Promethea's ancient enemy. PROMETHEA BOOK ONE is a 176-page hardcover from AMERICA'S BEST COMICS, a trade-paperback edition will not be offered with an in-store date earlier than December 2000. Retail Price $38.00
