Glory

In the mid-1990s, Image Comics launched Glory, a 16-issue series that reimagined the warrior goddess as a modern superheroine. Scripted primarily by Jo Duffy, Eric Stephenson, and co-creator Rob Liefeld, with dynamic art from Mike Deodato Jr., Ed Benes, and Emir Ribeiro, the book wove mythological themes into the bombastic, extreme style of the era. Centered on the titular heroine and her divine counterpart Gloriana Demeter, the series also featured appearances by fellow Image staples like SuperPatriot, Johnny Armstrong, Badrock, and Die Hard, grounding its cosmic scope in a shared universe. Glory stands as a key artifact of Image’s early expansion, showcasing the publisher’s shift from pure action to more character-driven fantasy.
