origin and 1st app of Wonder Woman; one of the scarcest major Golden Age keys! Comic Book Impact rating of 10 (CBI)Wonder Woman was an instant hit who served as a graphic representation of the women's war effort during WWII, predating Rosie the Riveter by two years. All Star Comics #8 contains the very first appearance of Wonder Woman. Although she is not shown on the cover, this issue remains one of the most desirable Golden Age comics thanks to the game-changing debut of one of the first female superheroes. The upside potential for this issue cannot be stressed enough. Wonder Woman's overdue solo film received critical acclaim and birthed a whole new generation of fans, and a reboot of the franchise is currently rumored for the retooled James Gunn DCU which will certainly draw renewed interest to this already incredibly valuable and hard-to-find book.
