DESCRIPTION
white pages; CVA Exceptional
H.G. Peter cvr/art; full pg ad for Comic Cavalcade #1; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 6 (CBI)The most startling thing about early Wonder Woman issues is how the entire feel and style of the comic fell into place almost instantly. While Bob Kane and Bill Finger spent a year in dark corners and blind alleys building the world of the Batman, while Siegel and Shuster ran their Superman through a handful of different genres before stumbling upon the superhero strip formula, Marston and Peter nailed the world of Wonder Woman almost immediately. Their confidence in their concept bore fruit on newsstands immediately, and changed the face of comics forever.
It looked and felt like nothing else on the stands, as is evidenced by the still-arresting cover of issue #3, which shows off the new series' extraordinary mesh of storybook classicism and contemporary brassiness, and debuts Paula Von Gunther, the team's first attempt at devising an arch-rival worthy of their formidable new creation. Overstreet Guide 2022 VF (8.0) value = $2,600.
