Williams III, this groundbreaking masterpiece debuted two decades ago, weaving a tapestry of magic, mythology, and boundless imagination that continues to enchant and inspire.

Chapter One: The Birth of a Goddess, the Rebirth of a Legend

Promethea emerged in the year 1999 as a Vertigo Comics publication under DC Comics. It introduced readers to Sophie Bangs, an art student who discovers that she is the embodiment of the eponymous goddess of imagination and creativity.

Guided by Stacia, her ethereal guide, Sophie embarks on a transformative journey that spans multiple dimensions, mythical realms, and the very canvas of existence. Along the way, she encounters a pantheon of characters drawn from ancient myth, tarot symbology, and the depths of human consciousness.

Chapter Two: The Alchemy of Art and Magic

At the heart of Promethea lies a profound exploration of the interplay between art and magic. Moore, renowned for his intricate storytelling, weaves a narrative that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination, questioning the nature of creation and the role of the artist as a conduit for the divine.

Through Sophie's artistic awakening, Promethea celebrates the transformative power of imagination, its ability to shape both personal and universal experiences.
