Written and illustrated by two of the finest creators in all of comicdom, the award-winning Kelly Sue DeConnick ( Captain Marvel, Bitch Planet, Aquaman) and Phil Jimenez ( Wonder Woman, Infinite Crisis, The Invisibles), Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons, is a new 3-issue oversized “prestige-plus” series under the DC Comics more mature Black Label banner, that aims to correct this decades-long oversight. Today sees the long, long-awaited release of the first issue of Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons! Their deserved history unwritten, unshared, untold.
Everyone knows Wonder Woman, who she is and how she came to be.īut in many ways, while a plethora of authors and illustrators have dug deep into the back stories, histories, and societal ruminations of Krypton, Gotham City, the Seven Kingdoms of Atlantis, and the spectrum of colours that influence the expanding world of Oa, Wonder Woman and her Amazonian sisterhood have been left in the dark. to the shining skyscrapers of Metropolis from the war-torn deserts of Kanhdaq to the ghettos of Santa Prisca from the far reaches of Oolong Island down to the hidden hollow earth confines of prehistoric Scartaris. Everyone on this planet recognizes her: from Main Street U.S.A.
Wonder Woman comics have been in print, uninterrupted, for decades. If there’s one globally known superhero that has, more than all others (I’m thinking of the big three in Superman, Batman, Spider-Man), been short-changed over the decades in terms of further fleshing out a backstory, origin, and their societal place, it’s Wonder Woman.
