Compared to the much longer and influential newspaper runs of Superman and Batman, it’s safe to say that Wonder Woman’s creator, William Moulton Marston, and artist Harry G. Peters teamed for least known of the Big Three DC characters’ comic strips. Where the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight’s comic strip adventures have been well documented over the decades, that was almost never the case with Wonder Woman. Now, though, Maston and Peters’ efforts have been collected in a great new volume from IDW Publishing’s Library of American Comics imprint.

Wonder Woman lasted in newspapers for just about a year and a half, running from May 1, 1944 through December 1, 1945, and this new book collects the entire run. It also includes another sterling essay from Bruce Canwell, who helps put the strip and its stories in context.

This book is a piece of history that many of us didn’t even know we were missing. Another superb job – and again, no surprise – by Dean Mullaney, Canwell, and their team at The Library of American Comics.
