Wonder Woman: The True Amazon

A single, self-contained prestige-format graphic novel from DC, Wonder Woman: The True Amazon is writer/artist Jill Thompson's singular reimagining of Diana Prince's origin. Instead of a princess born of clay and divine blessing, this 2018 tale presents a feral, lonely child raised in isolation on Themyscira—a Diana whose immense power is born of anger and a tragic, pivotal act of violence. Thompson's lush, expressive watercolor artwork lends a haunting, fairy-tale quality to this darker, more psychologically complex take on the character's formative years, offering a compelling alternative to the classic Amazonian mythos.
