H.G. Peter cover/art; 2nd Wonder Woman, 1st cover; origin & 1st app Wildcat, Mr. Terrific and the Gay GhostIt's not the first appearance of Wonder Woman, but it's the most famous WW issue there is. It is her first cover appearance as well, an undeniably big moment in comics history. William Moulton Marston's revolutionary and cagily subversive heroine explodes onto the Golden Age comics scene, thereby officially establishing the "trinity" of DC's hero stable, while promoting a role model and avatar for millions of girls and women all over the world. This classic cover debuts H.G. Peter's trademark style, which combines the crude grace of ancient Greek artists with the flowering majesty of storybook illustration. This strip looked and felt like nothing else before or since, a true milestone in comics history. Also of note in this issue, Wonder Woman assumes the persona of her alter ego, the helpful nurse, Diana Prince.
One of the most re-printed comics ever, this is the original article, in impressively high grade, which heralds the birth of a continuing comic book phenomenon.
Overstreet Guide 2017 VF+ (8.5) value = $55,000.
