Much like yesterday's Batman book, this is the first year or so of Wonder Woman's appearances. It took eight months for National Comics to realize they had a huge hit with Wonder Woman after her debut in Sensation Comics #1. In fact- From the Amazon description- "The very first stories of the Amazon Warrior are collected here in WONDER WOMAN: THE GOLDEN AGE VOLUME 1, featuring the adventures of Wonder Woman as she tackles corruption, oppression and cruelty in ALL STAR COMICS #8, COMIC CAVALCADE #1, SENSATION COMICS #1-14 and WONDER WOMAN #1-3." Since I got the second volume first, I read about half of that already, but now I am going back to see how it all started.
I had the Famous First edition tabloid sized of Sensation Comics #1, which featured all of the comic book, including the back up stories, I think the Golden Arrow was in there, and maybe Mr. Terrific. It has been a while since I read it. I kind of like reading the entire book, but I am enjoying these stories. I didn't know Etta Candy showed up in the second issue of Sensation. She was eating a lot already. Fat jokes abound, alas. I never knew Etta was such a powerhouse! Diana should have made her an Amazon, Etta would have fit right in.
So far Dr, Poison has shown up, and I am relatively sure that Baroness von Gunther will be here soon. EVERYONE in this book gets tied up. A lot.
