![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For six years, until his death in 1947, Marston’s Wonder Woman was a radical departure from male-dominated superhero comics. Because as much as Marston would have hoped, Wonder Woman didn’t go on to rule the world. This week Brian Azzarello and artist Cliff Chiang finished their 3-year, 35-issue epic of the New 52’s Wonder Woman, finally giving the most famous Amazonian the timeless story she’s always deserved. Greg Rucka and Gail Simone have done amazing work to be sure - and Elseworld titles like Kingdom Come have also shown Diana in compelling conflicts -but Wonder Woman has rarely occupied stories that define the character. Think about all the iconic Superman and Batman tales that have seen print: Superman For All Seasons, All-Star Superman, Superman: Birthright, Superman: Red Son, Batman: The Long Halloween, Batman: Year One, The Killing Joke, The Dark Knight Returns… The list goes on and on and on, but for Wonder Woman, that catalog is much smaller. For more than 70 years, second only to the Batman and Superman in longevity, Princess Diana has remained the bedrock definition of “super heroine.”īut what’s historical importance doesn’t always translate to superlative comic stories. ![]() It was as true when psychologist William Moulton Marston said those words and created the well-loved Amazon in 1941 as it is now. “Wonder Woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who, I believe, should rule the world.” - William Moulton Marston ![]()
