Golden Age Wonder Woman Bondage
These are from Sensation Comics #11, 1942.

You know, the comic book writers and artists of the 40's didn't know that they were the Golden Age. I'm sure it never occurred to any of them that decades later, adults would be reading their creations, analyzing them and laughing at the plot holes. They were just trying to pay the rent. They had to make those kids hand over that dime which might well be a whole week's allowance, so they used the most eye-catching gimmicks they could think of. "People like cowboys/ancient Egypt/leopard-skin-clad jungle queens," they would say. "Let's build a story around that." And they would, however far-fetched the combination might be.

And it's lucky for us that they did so, because it gave the more serious comic book writers of today, who know that adults are going to read their stories with a critical eye, all kinds of crazy elements that they have to try to get to make sense. Today's comic book readers want to have our cake and eat it too; we want our heroes to be from other planets or from lost civilizations, we want them to be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, we want them to run around doing good deeds in patriotically colored spandex... and we want the writer to make all of this make sense.

I love superhero comics.

Today's installment is basically The Story of O for kids. Really. No, really. It was very hard not to just scan the whole issue.

Back to Golden Age Wonder Woman Crack
These are from Sensation Comics #12, 1942. In this story, some people decide to make a movie about Wonder Woman and ask her to play herself. The Baroness Paula Von Gunther returns from the dead yet again.

Silver Age Wonder Woman
This is my last Silver Age post. Tomorrow it's back to the Golden Age.

Golden Age Steven Trevor was a cool guy. He wasn't in the least intimidated by the fact that his girlfriend could overpower him with one hand tied behind her back (which it often was), he thought she was the bee's knees. Plus he did plenty of heroic stuff on his own, without any superpowers.

Silver Age Steven Trevor, however, was a dick.

More Silver Age Wonder Woman Crack
Via the blog Amazon Princess I found these photos of Wonder Woman and Flash going about their daily lives, grocery shopping, taking care of the kids, etc. I found it kind of amusing. Some material may be NSFW for nudity. No sex or anything, though.

Today's scans are from Wonder Woman #145. The story was 30 pages long.

For a change, Silver Age Wonder Woman crack
First, a couple of WW-related cartoons I cut out years ago.



These are from Wonder Woman #129, which is 30 pages long. I believe there are only two issues that featured Wonder Tot's boyfriend Mermite, and this is one of them.

Wonder Tot has her detractors, and it's not surprising; the cutesy way she refers to herself in the third person is highly irritating. (I have never heard any child do this in real life, though one mother on my F-list says her toddler sometimes does it.) However, I have a soft spot for her because she's such a driven little Amazon. While Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl are dithering over their boyfriends, she's honing her warrior skills and seeking adventure.

The canon about the identities of Wonder Girl and Wonder Tot is inconsistent. It seems at first, they were supposed to be Wonder Woman when she was younger. Then they started doing "Impossible Tales" like the one we're about to see by allegedly splicing together film of Diana at different ages. Later on, it seems they dropped this entirely and gave Wonder Woman two younger sisters. I haven't read them in order, so I can't remember if they did this in order or if they switched back and forth; the latter wouldn't surprise me at all.

Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Golden Age Steve Trevor was a cool guy. Silver Age Steve Trevor was a dick.

Golden Age Wonder Woman Bondage
These scans are from Wonder Woman #3, published in 1943. This is one of the cracktastic issues that are tempting to just scan every page of, but I controlled myself. I just posted the three crackiest pages. It wasn't easy to choose, either.

Golden Age Wonder Woman Crack
These are from Wonder Woman #2, 1942. Marston was very into astral projection and that kind of thing and he used it in his stories all the time. This is one of those. Steve Trevor's injured and in a coma, his astral self is imprisoned by the war-god Mars, and Wonder Woman astrally projects herself to Mars to find him.

Interestingly, according to Marston, being incorporeal is no reason not to get tied up.

George Perez, the zenith of Wonder Woman's career.
I originally made this post during Wonder Woman Week, hence the pile of links, which I hope y'all won't mind my sharing again.

The Links:

[info]teh_no answered my challenge of a one-line Wonder Woman/Black Canary fic.

[info]joasakura wrote a delightful fic about Amazon Spanking Therapy.

Wonder Woman: Enemy Of Freedom by Nicolas Juzda.
I'm not here to judge or condemn. That's the job of each and every one of you. My aim is simply to lay out the facts in a clear and unbiased manner, until you can make an informed decision about the depths to which this hellspawned harpy has sunk all on your own.

If you want more Golden Age WW, scans of her daily newspaper strip from the 40's can be found here. Also there's an article and several scans here.

There are WW cartoons here and here.

[info]hradzka wrote Escape Artistry, which is about, um, Batman and Wonder Woman tying each other up.

The Curse of Bast
Author: [info]mosellegreen
Fandom: Golden Age Wonder Woman & Black Canary
Pairing: Wonder Woman/Black Canary
Rating: PG-13
Summary: The romance of Dinah and Diana is interrupted when they must rescue Larry Lance from a crazed cult led by a high priestess with a pack of slavegirls.
Notes: Thank you to [info]grey_bard, [info]ink_n_imp, and [info]carlanime for beta. Written for the [info]alien_altars challenge.
Illustration by [info]ink_n_imp!

So, now to George Perez. There are now four volumes of trades of his issues, and high time. He was the one who got me into comic books as an adult. I was always a Wonder Woman fan, at first chiefly because she was "the girl" and I needed someone to pretend to be when I was running around the backyard. But I stopped reading her comics before I entered adolescence.

Then when I was 17, I impulsively picked up the latest issue of Wonder Woman from the newsstand, just for old times' sake.

Wonder Woman Spectacular: Amazons in Skimpy Armor
This 80-page-long "Wonder Woman Spectacular" was published in 1978 but is set during WWII. It was written by Jack C. Harris and drawn by several guys, including Steve Ditko. And it's basically just an excuse to show slutty-looking Amazons in skimpy armor and provocative poses - exactly what I love George Perez for not doing.

I found this on the depths of my hard drive. Not sure where I got it from, but from the filename it's probably from Wonder Woman #21.

Golden Age Wonder Woman Crack
These are from Wonder Woman #3, 1943. H.G. Peter's art doesn't seem up to his usual (admittedly quirky) standard in this issue. But hey, the issue involves the Baroness Von Gunther, invisible slavegirls, mind control devices and bondage.

Golden Age Wonder Woman
These are from Sensation #13. Just two images.



Also: a couple of weeks ago, someone commented saying that in Europe, only serious comic book nerds have ever even heard of Wonder Woman. This led to a spirited debate, and someone (was it you, [info]bluefall?) posted a few photos of non-nerd Europeans wearing costumes obviously based on the Amazing Amazon's.

Well, over the weekend, I was watching the British TV show Hustle. A British show, made by and for Brits. It's never even been aired over here, but you can rent it via Netflix, and I highly recommend it. Anyway, during one of the second season episodes, there's a brief scene where one character dresses in a costume that's just different enough from Wonder Woman to avoid copyright infringement. But it's obviously her. She's even deflecting bullets with her bracelets.

The Reformation of Paula von Gunther
These are from Wonder Woman #3, 1943. This is when the reformation of Baroness Paula von Gunther begins. I suspect Marston just decided on the spur of the moment to reform her, because the motivation he gives her seems totally unconvincing in light of everything she's done up till now.
