Marston story, H.G. Peter cvr/art; origin Wonder Woman retoldWonder Woman was a vital addition to the superhero pantheon as William Moulton Marston's complex comic concept was one of the few Golden Age creations whose style and format were dead-on from the start, resulting in a nearly unbroken run of quality throughout the WWII-era. After her auspicious debut in All Star Comics #8, Wonder Woman earned her own book with Sensation Comics, the title that proved to be such a break-out success that DC introduced Wonder Woman #1 in the summer of 1942. This issue contains four tales of groundbreaking heroism, the first of which re-tells the character's origin story. There's been plenty of debate over the quality of some of the recent additions to the DCEU, but even the most cynical of hearts agree that Gal Gadot's portrayal of Wonder Woman was a knockout, and upcoming sequels will further serve to drive the value of this book. Early Wonder Woman comics are still heavily undervalued in our humble estimation which means that there is loads of headroom for these books to shoot up in value.
This copy of Wonder Woman #1 from the Summer of 1942 earned a 6.5 CGC Universal Grade, with off-white to white pages. This is a beautiful copy of an all-time classic, being both Wonder Woman's first self-titled issue, and featuring the retelling of her origin story. The yellow background is solid and well-preserved, and the iconic red Wonder Woman logo really shines. The classic H.G. Peter illustration of Wonder Woman on horseback breaking through the trenches of WWI looks just as good today as it did 80 years ago when this book first hit newsstands. As the third entry into DC’s Golden Age trifecta, along with Batman and Superman, Wonder Woman books are always highly sought-after. A 6.5 Wonder Woman #1 sold for $58,800 last year, and the market for the Amazon Princess keeps expanding annually.
Overstreet Guide 2021 FN+ (6.5) value = $48,575
