Wonder Woman: The True Amazon

Jill Thompson writes and illustrates this standalone, one-issue graphic novel from DC, reimagining Wonder Woman’s origins as a dark, tragic fable. Set apart from the main continuity, it explores a prideful and lonely young Diana whose gifts lead to unintended catastrophe on Themyscira. Thompson’s lush, painterly style and unflinching storytelling give this 2016 tale a haunting, mythic weight that lingers long after the final page.
