About this Collection
This collection kicks off William Messner-Loebs' run on Wonder Woman, reprinting issues #63-70 of the 1987 series. It follows Diana as she faces a new era of challenges, including the fallout from the War of the Gods and the introduction of the villainous Devastation. Messner-Loebs' tenure is known for grounding the Amazon princess in more human struggles while maintaining her heroic spirit.
In "Operation: Cheetah, Part One," Wonder Woman confronts a crisis that tests her resolve and compassion, as she turns to ancient magic to save a young life torn apart by the White Magician’s influence. Written by William Messner-Loebs and brought to life by Lee Moder’s evocative art, with Ande Parks’ inks, Steve Mattsson’s colors, and John Costanza’s lettering, this pivotal issue sees Diana inspire unlikely redemption in a reformed junkie and a hardened cop, all while navigating a growing mystery that threatens to unravel her mission. Brian Bolland’s striking cover captures the tension and mystique of the story’s opening chapter.
