Sensation Comics #1 features Wonder Woman in only her second appearance, making her cover debut and turning this classic comic into a pop-culture touchstone! H.G. Peter's outstanding art still remains the most iconic image of Wonder Woman from across the Comic Ages. Sensation #1 also remains the moment when William Marston's heroine exploded onto the Golden Age scene while establishing her in DC's Superhero Trinity alongside Superman and Batman.
In further milestones, "Wonder Woman Arrives in Man's World" has the Amazon returning Steve Trevor to America and taking on the identity of Diana Prince. From there, Wonder Woman quickly became an inspiring role model to millions of girls and women from around the world. This issue is also the debut of Peter's artistic vision, which combines the crude grace of ancient Greek artists with the majesty of storybook illustration. H.G. Peter was clearly introducing his audience to a strip that looked and felt like nothing else before — soon leading to DC creating the first solo comic for a female superhero with Wonder Woman #1!
_______________________________________________
One of two copies in this auction, this Sensation #1 has some wonderful clean whites and bright reds and yellows on its iconic cover. Prices on this comic have been on the rise ever since Gal Gadot wielded her golden lasso as the Amazonian Princess in the DCEU. At one point an underrated key, that has changed drastically, this comic is certainly one of the recommended investments in this auction, as the popularity of Wonder Woman continues to rise. For those of you out there looking for a copy of this book and are not planning to take part in the heavyweight bout for the highest graded copy, also featured in this auction, then here is a very attractive mid-grade example that will also undoubtedly see its share of action in our second Event Auction of the year.
Overstreet Guide 2019 NM- (9.2) value = $24,750.
