DESCRIPTION

Marston story, H.G. Peter cvr/art; origin Wonder Woman retoldWonder Woman was a vital addition to the superhero pantheon as William Moulton Marston's complex comic concept was one of the few Golden Age creations whose style and format were dead-on from the start, resulting in a nearly unbroken run of quality throughout the WWII-era. After her auspicious debut in All Star Comics #8, Wonder Woman earned her own book with Sensation Comics, the title that proved to be such a break-out success that DC introduced Wonder Woman #1 in the summer of 1942. This issue contains four tales of groundbreaking heroism, the first of which re-tells the character's origin story. There's been plenty of debate over the quality of some of the recent additions to the DCEU, but even the most cynical of hearts agree that Gal Gadot's portrayal of Wonder Woman was a knockout, and upcoming sequels will further serve to drive the value of this book. Early Wonder Woman comics are still heavily undervalued in our humble estimation which means that there is loads of headroom for these books to shoot up in value. Higher-grade unrestored copies of this key are especially tough to obtain, as so many mid-grade copies were touched up during the pre-slabbing days. Finding a higher-grade untouched WW1 in nice shape is quite a catch, and the crisp yellows and sharp blacks on this copy are sure to please even the pickiest of Golden Age experts.
