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!
_______________________________________________
This copy has the visual appeal of a higher grade, with split interior pages playing a role in the G+ designation, but, as can be witnessed by one quick gander at this cover, it is in a remarkable state of preservation. There is a clean white background, bold red and yellow wash, and subtler muted tones that read exceptionally well making this an incredibly attractive copy which will be available for a hammer price that should make it the focus of intense bidding.
Overstreet Guide 2020 G+ (2.5) value = $12,375.
