Description
She is STRONG. She is INVINCIBLE. She is WONDER WOMAN--the most popular super heroine of all time. Les Daniels honors her superhuman strength, her peace-seeking mission, and her fabulous outfits throughout the years. The unconventional Dr. William Moulton Marston originally created her as "psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should rule the world." And Wonder Woman--known to her friends as Diana--has triumphed for sixty years, whether battling evil fascists or ensnaring show more villains with her magic lasso. Filled with a fascinating array of archival comic book art, photographs, and paraphernalia, and designed by Chip Kidd,Wonder Woman follows on the heels of the successfulBatman andSuperman histories to complete this popular super hero series. Not only a sure hit with collectors and fans, this celebration of Wonder Woman's independent spirit will also appeal to the larger girl-power audience of today. Colorful, complete, and captivating,Wonder Woman: The Complete History is a true tribute to this splendid super hero. show lessTags

Les Daniels' books about the "Big 3" at DC Comics should be issued to people--they're THAT good. Of the 3, I like this one the best because there's much more focus on the writers and their aims. Kidd's layout is stunning. An absolute must have for anyone who loves comics history. HIGHLY recommended.
An excellent overview of the history of the character, from her beginnings to the turn of the century. Beautiful book.
Excellent book on the history of Wonder Woman. Many great color photographs of the comics and stories.
