THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN
Wonder Woman first appeared in All-Star Comics #8 on October 21, 1941, in a backup story meant to test her appeal at a time when female Super Heroes were rare. An instant favourite, Wonder Woman was soon headlining her own standalone title less than a year later. Subsequent generations came to know the Amazonian princess with silver bracelets on her wrists and a magic lasso by her waist via her hit 1970’s television series as well as roles in animated shows and movies.
The groundbreaking 2017 film Wonder Woman by director Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot was the largest grossing live-action film ever for a female director at the time of release. The sequel, Wonder Woman 1984 premiered on HBOMax and in theatres globally on 25 December 2020. Warner Bros. Pictures confirmed the third Wonder Woman movie starring Gadot will also be written by Jenkins.
Fans can delve into the history and enduring influence of the iconic character this October with the “Wonder Woman Authors & Talent Panel†on DC Community.
