WordPress ✪ Spotify ✪ YouTube ✪ 🍏podcasts✪

The thirteenth episode of our DC SECRET FILES podcast — the show that dares to tackle DC Comics’ greatest creations in encyclopedic form! Each episode, Frank will be joined by a special guest, in this case: actor, editor, & podcaster Paul K. Bisson, of Satin Tights: A Wonder Woman Podcast, to cover characters and concepts from across DC’s history. Our discussion of the given property will be married to a piece of original art commissioned by DC to spotlight the same. This time around, we chat about Fisher-Price's 1982 release Wonder Woman Storytape & Book, by Andrew Helfer, Ross Andru & Dick Giordano, with Carl Gaffard. Plus we cover YOUR feedback!

JLA - Die neue Gerechtigkeitsliga #31 (1999)

Most of ze German comics that I picked up on vacation that I'm spotlighting across my blogs today are of a Bronze Age vintage, but as it happened, I shied away from Wonder Woman content. I feel a bit put out with myself over that now, because the biggest shop I went to had probably multiple runs of a reprint series of her '70s comics in very nice shape, but I had already bought so much stuff elsewhere that I held back. That means I struggled to make an Amazing Amazon connection for these blogs, but thankfully I'd gotten a nice deal on a reprint of 1999's JLA #30 and The Titans #1, with a bonus quad-folded JLA vs. Titans poster stapled in the centerfold (my actual motivation for buying.) I think the poster art came from a house ad or retailer promo poster, because it's definitely not the 28" x 65" enormous retail poster made for the covers to that mini-series (which I cut to fit into two poster-holders and hung at my shop, before finally selling it.) No actual Princess Diana content though, as the lead story offers the Queen Hippolyta Wonder Woman, and the second story Donna Troy.
