Well...I'd like to play the #20Comics game that recently commenced here (courtesy of Dirk Schwieger), but I'm too afraid that each of my picks would just be some issue of PROMETHEA. There are over thirty, you know.

My favorite writer, favorite penciller, and favorite letterer all had teamed up for that project.

In fact, when PROMETHEA came to an end in 2005, that was a big reason why I began to gradually withdraw from the whole medium. I increasingly found it hard to imagine any other graphic novel being as great, from start to finish.

Now, don't get me wrong. I could probably list dozens of other titles—or hundreds of other issues—having roughly similar power. All home runs. Yet, as far as I know, no other complete works in the medium have been grand slams except PROMETHEA.

So its components, cover images and everything, overshadow all the rest; from my perspective. And this would make my use of the above hashtag too repetitive.

“Promethea”: il capolavoro di Alan Moore tra magia, creatività e simbolismo

"Before coming onto 'Promethea' I was already getting experimentation into my work, but the creative freedoms that came with 'Promethea' allowed me to explore this to a much fuller extent. It allowed me to show what I could do and what was possible for how a story can be told."
—J. H. Williams III, interviewed in 'Scuola di Fumetto' No. 69 (2009)
