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.

Most collectors know that origin stories and first appearances of iconic characters are amongst the most-desirable qualities in a key issue, and this Golden Age treasure is one of the big keys of the DC stable. With the recently released "Wonder Woman" trailer making waves across the internet, the upcoming Gal Gadot vehicle promises to drive the value of this book into the stratosphere. Displaying bright colors and a well-preserved central image, this book comes at a price tag that makes it available to a broader spectrum of bidders than a higher-grade example of this important GA key.
Overstreet Guide 2016 FN- (5.5) value = $30,250.
