While doing some research for a future issue of Xenorama I realized that I did not own a single Wonder Woman comic book. I had only read her main title sporadically growing up, even after the television show was airing. I did by and read all of George Perez' wonderful run on the title. I did a proper culling of my collection and all of those did go away. I saw this for sale and thought it would be a good read. The eleven stories presented here are pretty good, though I am not sure I would call most of them the greatest ones ever told. It does have a wonderful introduction by Lynda Carter (you should see her other plane) and all the stories arequite good, though many are definitely a product of their times.
All but the Perez one, which is not a surprise. George knew how to balance humor and pathos with superheroic action. I am a little surprised they didn't have white pantsuit Diana there, though they have a story that Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) when Wonder Woman wants to be part of the Justice League again. It is a good collection. It will probably be a gift to a friend of mine, but I am happy to have read the book.
