Stories

A Faerie Romance · 24 pages
Sophie and Stacia go to the library to research Promethea. After reading Charlton Sennet's account of Promethea (Anna), Sophie is visited by Jack Faust.

Publisher’s description

Charles Vess illustrates an 8-page sequence in the latest issue starring AMERICA'S BEST COMICS' number one science-heroine! Long before the mantle of Promethea was passed to Sophie Bangs, the literally living legend was acquainted with a young 18th-century New England poet named Charlton Sennet. Learn all about it in a tale of little people, lust and loss that details more of Promethea's wildly original, century-spanning background.
