*DC: – Wonder Womans? Wonder Women? Be that as it may, three 1940’s issues of the Amazing Amazon’s adventures, all in grades far superior to those generally found in comics of this period. Issue #20, November/December 1946, is a book-length adventure in which the Princess of Paradise Island takes on aviatrix ‘Nifty, her Air Pirates, and the Time Monster, flipping Di, Steve and the Holliday Girls through different periods of history. This is an extraordinarily well-preserved copy, with off-white, flexible interior pages, vibrant unfaded cover colour, and some residual cover gloss. Only a slight weakness around the bottom staple impinges on its high grade, but nevertheless, we have determined this as FN/VF, a condition unprecedented in our experience for a comic of this vintage. Issue #23, May-June 1947, features stories about two baddies and a baby – the belligerent Valkyries and the Vanishing Mummy are the antagonists in question, but the third tale is of Wonder Woman’s childhood (and the origin of the Kangas!) and is generally regarded as a Wonder Tot prototype. This copy is VG+. Finally, we have #29, dated May-June 1948, in which our heroine defeats a twisted treasure hunt, gypsy tigers (no really), and in the cover-featured tale encounters the Sinister Minister Blizzard! Prime Minister Blizzard, to give him his full title, head of a hidden Arctic civilization, finds things uncomfortably heated when he conspires to seize the monarchy. Minister B. had quite a long rest before his next appearances in 1966 and 1977, but since then, he’s become a recurring if infrequent Rogue’s Gallery member. This copy of #29 is an apparent VG/FN; nice covers, aside from small writing in the upper cover’s blank area, but the ‘guts’ of the book appear at one point to have lived in a bound volume, as they have small but multiple thread holes in the margin (not encroaching upon the story area.) Any Golden Age issues of Wonder Woman are vanishingly rare these days, and to get three at once is quite a coup. The covers of all three are reproduced below: #20 is FN/VF £400, #23 VG+ £175, and #29 App. VG/FN £125.
