Wonder Woman
Few characters in comics history carry the weight and wonder of Wonder Woman, who burst onto the Golden Age scene in All-Star Comics #8 in 1941, brought to life by Gardner Fox and Stan Asch, and has never looked back across an astonishing 85-year publishing run. With 1,522 catalogued appearances and 52 recognized key issues to her name, she stands as one of DC's most enduring and collected figures — a titan whose presence in Wonder Woman, Justice League of America, and Detective Comics speaks to a versatility few characters can match. She shares her pages with the very best of DC's pantheon — Superman, Batman, Bruce Wayne, Green Lantern, and Princess Diana among them — keeping the kind of company that confirms her place at the absolute center of the DC universe. Whether you're a seasoned collector chasing those landmark keys or a new reader just discovering her legacy, Wonder Woman is exactly the kind of character whose history rewards every page turned.

Trivia

- That skirt in the classic Golden Age art was never a skirt at all — Diana's original costume featured culottes, a deliberate design choice meant to strike a balance between practicality and femininity.mentalfloss.com
- The iconic spinning transformation that fans associate with Wonder Woman was actually invented for the 1970s TV series, not the comics, and it was that show which burned the image into the character's broader public identity.mentalfloss.com
- Charles Moulton has written more of Wonder Woman's comics than any other writer in our catalog — 72 issues.
