1st appearance Ares; Wonder Woman origin retold; 1st solo comic for female superhero; Marston story, H.G. Peter coverr/art
Wonder Woman followed her auspicious debut in All Star Comics #8 with her first cover appearance for the newly-launched Sensation Comics #1. That book's breakout success would lead to DC creating the first solo comic for a female superhero — with the company following the lead of the Superman and Batman titles with a quarterly Wonder Woman book in the summer of 1942.
In addition to another classic cover from artist H.G. Peter, Wonder Woman #1 contains four new tales of groundbreaking heroism. Those include a revisiting of Wonder Woman’s origin that reveals how the Amazons were sculpted from clay to fight war-mongering men who follow the malevolent god Ares. (In another groundbreaking move, DC acknowledged the heroine’s diverse appeal with Florence Nightingale starting a “Wonder Women of History” series.)
Wonder Woman, of course, was a vital addition to the Golden Age's superhero pantheon, with the style and format of William Moulton Marston's complex comics vision set from the start. This would result in a nearly unbroken run of quality throughout the WWII-era. Early Wonder Woman comics are often still heavily undervalued. There's good reason to expect these books to shoot up in value — especially amidst eager fan speculation about Wonder Woman's next big-screen role in the DC Extended Universe.
Overstreet Guide 2016 G (2.0) value = $5,000.
Artist 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.
