    Alan Moore is without question the most critically acclaimed and influential writer working in the industry today. His long-awaited Glory series has been eagerly anticipated for years, and now Avatar is releasing it with an all-star lineup of cover artists. This first issue finds the goddess Glory's worrying mother Demeter wondering how her daughter can ever fit in on Earth with the mortals. But her peaceful, perfect island of Thule is troubled by an unexpected visit from Lilith, queen of the underworld, who threatens to strike at Demeter where she is weakest, her daughter Glory! This issue also has a Golden Age Glory story written by Alan Moore and drawn by Melinda Gebbie! This series features the same intricately crafted plot, world renowned characterization and razor-sharp dialogue that has made Alan Moore so amazingly popular.
