About this Collection

This volume collects Wonder Woman stories from the Golden Age, reprinting issues #9–12 of the original series. Featuring the work of William Moulton Marston and H.G. Peter, it includes classic adventures such as the debut of the Cheetah and the introduction of the Holiday Girls. This hardcover edition preserves the original comic pages in a high-quality archival format.

"Adventure of the Kidnapers of Astral Spirits" brings readers to the hidden world of Atlantis in a thrilling tale from Wonder Woman Archives #4 (2004). Written by William Marston and illustrated by Harry Peter, with inks and colors by Peter and Jamison, this story follows Wonder Woman as she journeys to the underwater realm ruled by two rival queens—Clea of Venturia and Eeras of Aurania—where giant women and frail manlings coexist amid ancient ruins and prehistoric creatures. The cover, also by Harry Peter, captures the mystery of this lost world.
