Promethea Signed First Editions Reference

Promethea is Moore’s most personal work within the comics medium — a superhero comic that progressively transforms into an extended meditation on magic, imagination, and the nature of reality. Published by ABC/Wildstorm (1999–2005), with art primarily by J.H. Williams III, the series runs thirty-two issues and stands as Moore’s most visually ambitious project.

Collecting Overview

Individual issues and collected trade paperbacks are both collectible. Williams III has been a willing signer, making his signature available. Moore signatures on Promethea material are extremely rare.

Key Collectible Items

  • Promethea #1 (1999): First issue, first appearance. Near mint: $20–$50.
  • Trade paperback collections (five volumes): First printings, $10–$30 each unsigned.
  • Absolute Promethea (three volumes): Oversized hardcover format. $50–$100 per volume.

Moore signatures on any Promethea material command significant premiums due to overall Moore signature scarcity. Williams III signatures add modest value.
