*Modern Reprints: DC revitalized one of its more tired properties in the late 1960’s, when Wonder Woman abruptly lost her mighty Amazon powers and became, instead, a heroine of the people, struggling by like the rest of us – though with the tiny advantage of being taught awesome martial arts skills by a slightly clichéd Oriental mentor! Often described by critics as “The Emma Peel” years, these are actually more akin to Modesty Blaise, as Mrs. Peel, for all her steely charm, seldom made a move unless she was told what to do by a man, whereas WW took it upon herself to battle assassins, evil geniuses, sadists, witches, dictators and monsters without getting her white jumpsuit grubby! Brainstormed by Mike Sekowsky and Denny O’Neil, the ‘New’ WW was a refreshing change in the staid superhero scene, and the original issues remain in high demand – but luckily for you, DC collected the entire run in four handsome full-colour paperbacks, now available for a mere £15 each!
