American Comics Update: The Midas Collection: Wonder Woman #45 & #46 from 1951
*DC: Two classic issues of Wonder Woman from the Midas Collection this week. #45 is a special issue re-telling and updating the origin of Wonder Woman in a long two-part story. In a whimsical third story, a leprechaun wins a scholarship to Holliday College, and Wonder Woman, as acting dean, must endure his pranks while protecting him from gangsters attempting to steal his pot of gold (!). The final story features a western wedding when Wonder Woman travels to the New West. Three longer adventures feature in #46. All stories by Robert Kanigher with art by Henry Peter; covers by Irwin Hasen.
