12:29 pm [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman Today's scans are about the same Fun Clinics mentioned in yesterday's. They're from "The Malice of the Green Imps", originally published in Sensation Comics #28 in 1944, reprinted in Wonder Woman Archives Volume 4. (Those volumes are indispensable for the Golden Age Wonder Woman geek.) ( I've been all tied up here in Center City. ) Tags: char: wonder woman/diana of themyscira, creator: william moulton marston, era: golden age, publisher: dc comics, title: sensation (11 comments \| Leave a comment)

12:56 pm [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman There's a few GA WW images here: Ask Golden Age Wonder Woman; Advice on love, life, and relationships by Dr. Golden Age Wonder Woman, Ph.d. Hint: her solution to every problem involves getting tied up. These are from "The Fun Foundation", originally published in Sensation Comics #27 in 1944, reprinted in Wonder Woman Archives Volume 4.

12:21 pm [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman When I first made this post, which was pretty early in my GA WW postings, I remarked that several people at the old s_d were so amazed at the amount of bondage and other crack that they asked me if I was sure my scans hadn't been photoshopped. When one has experienced the full crackiness of GA WW, photoshopping more craziness in would seem anticlimactic. The Sherlockian title of the story from which today's scans come is "Adventure of the Kidnapers of Astral Spirits", originally published in Sensation Comics #25 in 1944. Just two panels from this one. I'm not trying to convey the full story or anything, just highlighting the most cracktastic bits: ( Read more... ) Tags: char: wonder woman/diana of themyscira, creator: william moulton marston, era: golden age, publisher: dc comics, title: sensation (7 comments \| Leave a comment)

01:34 pm [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman, featuring Paula von Gunther "The Crime Combine", published in Sensation Comics #32 in 1944. Just three panels.

11:39 am [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman Today's offering is from "The Blue Spirit Mystery", Sensation Comics #30, 1944. It's a surprisingly complex (though nonetheless cracked out) story about a racket in the form of a cult that swindles people out of their money. Really, a lot of Golden Age comics had plots much more complex than most Silver and Bronze Age ones, and dealt with comparatively mature subjects - not mature in the sense of sex and violence, but how many 7-year-olds would one expect to be interested in cult religion scams? I think they gave kids more credit then. Though of course, the stories were still whacked out.

11:55 am [mosellegreen] [Link]	The introduction of Giganta THIS IS ONE OF THE CRACKIEST WW STORIES EVER. The story reveals Marston's usual lack of compunction about deus ex machina and, shall we say, casual grasp of science. Remember that he was a psychologist, with more than a hint of the huckster about him. His editor revealed years later that "if I had let him put in all the symbolism and stuff he wanted to, the stories would have been even weirder." The mind boggles. This story was 36 pages long, so there are lots of scans, 9 pages worth. Good thing, because I didn't want to have to drop any of them. Also, you can see Silver Age Giganta here.

11:25 am [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman Just one image today. This is from Wonder Woman #8, 1944. If you read the Golden Age WW stories, you start to see that Paradise Island was developing quite an immigrant population, including women from Venus, Atlantis, America, Germany.... And come to think of it, most of them had criminal records. This could become a real problem. That is, if you didn't keep them all tied up.

11:37 am [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman These are from Sensation Comics #4, 1942. Remember that these can be bought in the Archive Edition reprints; thus far there are five Wonder Woman volumes. And they have them of other Golden Age comics too; I also have the Black Canary volume. This issue introduces Wonder Woman's enemy Baroness Paula von Gunther, whom she later reformed, probably by spanking her.

09:08 am [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman This is one of my favorite Golden Age WW stories ever, Wonder Woman vs. the International Milk Company. It's one of those unusually cracked out ones. Originally published in Sensation #7 in 1942.

08:58 am [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman Today's story is from Sensation Comics #8, 1942, about a department store chain called Bullfinch that overworks its employees terribly. Yeah, WW shilling for labor unions. Sad. ( 'Great girdle of Aphrodite! Am I tired of being tied up!' ) Tags: char: wonder woman/diana of themyscira, creator: william moulton marston, era: golden age, publisher: dc comics, title: sensation (11 comments \| Leave a comment)

01:59 pm [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman These are from Sensation Comics #9, 1942. Some of you may know how Wonder Woman originally got her "Diana Prince" identity. She ran into a nurse who resembled her and was coincidentally named Diana - Diana Prince - who wanted to go to South America where her fiancé was, but didn't have the money. Wonder Woman gave her the money in exchange for her identification papers, which she used to get a job in the hospital where Steve Trevor was being treated. In this issue, the original Diana Prince, now Diana White, returns to America. Her marriage is to all appearances happy, but, well, odd. I'm sure none of you are surprised.

10:14 am [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman: The Origin Well, the next post in my archives is from Wonder Woman #1, 1942, which somebody else already handled quite well here. I'll just repost one panel which seriousfic also posted, which I found especially amusing. ( Wonder Woman goes to the circus. ) On to the next post. In Wonder Woman #1, published in 1942, the story of her origin is retold.
