Praise for Promethea: 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Book One

"Alan Moore, J.H. Williams III, et. al, have transcended the dull routine of ordinary comic books, just as the heroine transcends the lowest "sephiroths" of the Kabbalah. Through ingenuity of form and a willingness to travel to new places, PROMETHEA reaches for the heavens." --Time

"Powerful." --San Francisco Chronicle

"Awash in references to mythology, literature, religion, and arcania, Moore's intricately crafted philosophical work is a dazzling smorgasbord depicted through equally intricate and varied color artwork." --Library Journal

"Armed with an acute knowledge of how comics worked and driven by an affection for comicdom's past, a desire to take it forward, and a dislike of most work being done at the time, Moore raised the bar for mainstream narrative comic storytelling to previously unscaled heights." --A.V. Club
