Showcase Presents: Wonder Woman #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume continues DC's black-and-white Showcase Presents series, collecting Wonder Woman stories from the late 1960s and early 1970s. It features the era when Diana Prince gave up her powers and costume to become a mod-style secret agent, as well as the return of her traditional Amazonian abilities. The collection includes issues from Wonder Woman #179 through #198, showcasing the work of writers like Denny O'Neil and artists like Mike Sekowsky.
In "The Kite of Doom," Wonder Woman faces a bizarre challenge when Mer-Boy and Bird-Boy compete in a wild contest of skill, forcing Wonder Girl to keep intervening—until the entire trio is in peril from the mighty King Fisherbird. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life with dynamic art by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, this 2010 Showcase Presents issue delivers a delightfully offbeat adventure with a classic superhero twist. The cover by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito captures the chaos in bold, expressive lines.
In "The Academy of Arch-Villains!", three unlikely villains—Angle Man, The Human Fireworks, and the eccentrically dressed Mouse Man—answer the challenge of a bizarre new competition: capturing Wonder Woman and winning a golden statuette modeled after her. The stakes are absurd, the contestants even more so, and the hunt for the Amazon warrior begins with a mix of flair, folly, and questionable strategy.
In "The Phantom Fisher-Bird," Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl find themselves caught in a bizarre rivalry between Mer-Boy and Bird-Boy, two aquatic and aerial tricksters whose competition escalates into a full-blown crisis. As the duo’s antics spiral out of control, the legendary King Fisherbird emerges, forcing Wonder Woman to intervene and save them all before the skies and seas are thrown into chaos.
In "Wonder Girl's Stolen Face," the Martian Duke of Deception unleashes a sinister scheme, using a grotesque face transplant to torment the Wonder Family. As Wonder Girl becomes the target of a cruel deception, her allies Mer-Boy and Bird-Boy find themselves caught in a fierce struggle—both drawn to her beauty and unwilling to let go, even as a giant roc attacks.
In "The Brain Pirate of the Inner World!", Wonder Woman finds herself ensnared in a surreal psychological battleground where the mind of the Brain Pirate warps reality itself—turning her into a living target on a colossal dartboard, all while her captors toy with her resolve. As her consciousness flickers between the dreamlike realm and a sudden, jarring memory sparked by a Golden Age comic book, she must confront the limits of her own mind before the Dream Merchant’s influence becomes absolute.
