Golden Age Wonder Woman


I've figured it out. What's cool about Etta Candy is, though she's a comic character, Marston allowed her to be a real person too. She's brave and tough and loyal and has high aspirations. Here she's actually trying to send Wonder Woman a mental radio message, even though she hasn't been trained to do it.





I love how unapologetic she is. In a world where anorexic models faint on the runway and emaciated young women sign up with Weight Watchers, we need a woman who isn't in the least intimidated by the command to diet.




I have to say, Diana seems to be awfully calm about a girl being thrown down a mine shaft.


Etta protects her own. Give me Etta over a truckload of scrawny supermodels!


Get a load of Diana's ensemble here.

It turns out evil people were forcing Pepita to do bad things. Wonder Woman trounces the evil people, and:



Stick to your guns, Etta!

I do like that even though they've got the "black weasel" slur, Diana is all "Aphrodite bless you" about Mint and Pepita's relationship afterwards.

I don't think it's a racial slur, actually, just an insult - like 'blackhearted', or something like that. After all, Pepita ISN'T black, and someone of Etta's era would have known plenty of slurs to hurl at a Mexican girl.

You might not be so generous with your praise if [info]mosellegreen had posted any panels of the porter on that train Etta and Di are riding.

Yeah. Actually, when I scanned this, I remember that at first I included him in the scan. I thought, I shouldn't try to hide that Marston & Peters did this. But I just couldn't bring myself to post it.

Oh, I'm not surprised; it's kind of like the Captain America issue with the crazy sea serpent sub-ship, when Golden Age comics *aren't* hideously racist is the exception, thus me noting it.
