Format:Hardcover
This highly pictorial history (or should I say “herstory”) of Wonder Woman has just about everything in it that you could want. Beginning with Wonder Woman’s origination in the mind of Harvard-trained psychologist Dr. William Moulton Marston, continuing through to her rebirth as the new Wonder Woman in 1968, through Gloria Steinem’s work to bring her back, through the television show, through today. Along the way there are many reproductions of comic book covers and comics, pictures of paraphernalia (e.g. toys, cards, macaroni, etc.), and sidebars discussing such things as lie detectors, other comic book heroines, and such.
This is a great book that taught me many things that I did not know, about her origins, who she was written for and why. I recommend this book to everyone who is interested in Wonder Woman or in comic books in general.

Great Hera! Les Daniels' "WONDER WOMAN: A Complete History" should have been titled "WONDER WOMAN: A Complete HER-story" because it ever so methodically chronicles the evolution of this AMAZING comic book heroine from her early beginnings as female role model fending off Nazis and falling in love with a male mortal to a modern-day feminist and ambassador of peace. Rich in details both written and illustrated, this is a must-have for anyone who's ever fallen in love with Wonder Woman or has simply been intrigued by her mythology. May she forever be in our hearts, stars, stripes, and all.
Format:Paperback
As a fan and a picky one, i admit this book is great. Well designed (the golden edge with white typo is a pleasure to see as well as the illustrations we found all
around), the paper is of a great quality and full of little things we're glad to discover,and some other we would have prefer not to know...~ ~
I put 5 stars at first but i take one back cause of the impartiality of the author and the fragility of the edge. But i assure you this book's cool. You won't regret it.
