Joe Giganti CollectionThe 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.
Artists Information
Harry George Peter usually cited as H. G. Peter, was a newspaper illustrator and cartoonist known for his work on the Wonder Woman comic book and for Bud Fisher of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Moldoff is best known for his early work on DC's Hawkman and Hawkgirl, and was one of Bob Kane's primary "ghost artists" on Batman. He co-created the Batman villains Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, the second Clayface, and Bat-Mite, as well as the original heroes Bat-Girl, Batwoman, and Ace the Bat-Hound.
