HOTW- Glory

From several Wiki notes-  Writer Alan Moore joined Image after leaving DC Comics and spending a period of time working for independent companies. As he did on other Liefeld works like Supreme and Youngblood, Moore relaunched Glory in March 1999 under the Awesome Comics line.[4] Blending mythology, adventure, and romance to the superheroine much as he would shortly do in his subsequent series for ABC Comics, Promethea.

In the retooling, Glory takes on a human identity by a waitress named "Gloria West", in order to experience humanity. Only one issue was published (#0), but was eventually republished with two additional issues for Avatar Press in 2001. This version also had an extended backstory, once supervising a team called 'Danger Damsels' decades ago.[5]

 During World War II, Glorianna fights for the Allied forces against the Nazis, alongside Supreme. For a time she works with Die-Hard and SuperPatriot as the team called 'Allies'.[2] She is part of the second and third Brigade teams with other superheroes.[3]  Back to me:

I have only read Alan Moore's version.  From what I gather about previous and post incarnations, I am glad that has been it. She was obviously a Wonder Woman homage, and I think the current version of all the Princess Dianas owe a bit to this well-done idea.
