Golden Age Wonder Woman
These are from Sensation Comics #17, 1943.



Sometimes, a page is so whacked out that commenting seems irrelevant.


I cannot believe this was made for children. Though I confess, had I been a child then I'd have been counting the days to each issue.


Hell of a role model.


I know I'm always in hot water with Aphrodite when I don't take command of people who need reforming. She's still sore at me for just moving out when my ex-roommates acted jerky instead of putting them in shackles and lecturing them about submitting to loving domination, maybe also putting them on one of those machines from yesterday'stomorrow's post.


I have to admit, the joke is getting a little old. I'm starting to freak out a little bit. Marston was... quite a piece of work.

If you mean with world the small subculture of fans of US-superherocomics: Then are you right.
If you mean the real world: Then no. Just no.
I mean just ask some random people here in europe if they know Superman or Batman. ´Good chance they say yes.
Ask them about Wonder Woman: Good chance that they never heard about her. And if they heard, they would think, that she is a superhero-parody.

Odd real world you're living in. Regular people I met in Italy knew Wondy. And nearly everyone knows who Wonder Woman is in America.

You're so wrong I don't know if it's funny or painful.

Wonder Woman cosplay in Japan

Kim Kardashian dressing for a Halloween party

A Braveheart fan

Some French bikers

See, you can tell those aren't comic fans, because the costumes are wrong. (And because Kim Kardashian would never wear anything that was anything remotely like obscure to a publicity event.) Yet they're pretty recognizably Wonder Woman. And people are wearing these in public, no less.

Y'know, I wouldn't be surprised if Marston-era Wondy had a devoted fan-following in Japan - a good deal of his stories reach levels of absurdity that remind me of Anime quite a bit.
