Way back in 2011, former Marvel Editor-In-Chief <a href="http://jimshooter.com/2011/08/superman-first-marvel-issue.html/" target="_blank">blogged</a> about a time when DC Comics were seemingly so incapable of selling their iconic heroes to a modern audience, that a Warner Brothers mucky-muck tried to license them to Marvel. The story has been disputed, but when <a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/when-marvel-comics-almost-bought-dc-really/" target="_blank">Newsarama</a> recently revived the tale, it got my wheels spinning. For the article, they bashed together old Marvel trade dress with DC logos and stock art for Batman and Superman. I wanted to see what a 1984 Marvel Wonder Woman cover would look like, and so did my own bashing.<br /><br />
So right off the bat, the deal was supposedly offered in 1984, with probably no earlier than 1985 release dates. The class Marvel Comics Group banner was retired in 1983 for a more subdued Marvel logo in the corner box. That wouldn't be very fun, so this look is automatically anhistorical. I also wanted a "new" period logo, choosing a 1983 variant that was used on something like six non-consecutive <i>Wonder Woman</i> covers. However, I was only willing to put so much time and effort into this thing, so when I only found a transparency of the 1982 logo used for the Thomas/Colan run, I slapped that on instead.<br /><br />
I spent about an hour looking through artwork that could serve for the cover, which lead to the Ron Frenz corner box art. Even though Frenz spent a number of years at DC, his art style, crossing together both Buscema brothers, felt quintessentially Marvel. It was also a mostly white background, with elements that ended up being more work to remove than I'd hoped.<br /><br />
I finally decided to start Googling other period Marvel artists, and got a solid hit with a painted Bill Sienkiewicz piece. It looked like a period Wonder Woman, and Sienkiewicz did a lot of painted covers for Marvel in the early '80s, this one particularly recalling his <i>Dazzler</i> run. I wish I'd made the logo smaller to give everything, but especially the corner box image, more room to breathe. I was a bit sloppy and rushing, so it is what it is.<br /><br />
The most obvious creative team for a book like this would be Louise Jones or Mary Jo Duffy on scripts with maybe Mary Wilshire or Cynthia Martin art. Realistically, Marvel probably would have gone with either an all male or mixed gender creative team. To give the title more of a distinct flavor, being a relaunch and all, I went instead for rookies Ann Nocenti and Bret Blevins. Both had done work at Marvel, but not a lot, though I don't see why Marvel would have that much an easier time attracting name talent than DC. Better to find a hungry young team. I figure their book would have skewed more dark fantasy than Simonson mythology, and also be more urban. Something like the abortive Greg Potter run at DC, without all the really gross and creepy stuff. Definitely a "This isn't your grandma's Amazing Amazon" bold new direction. Given that my alternatives were a Perez-aping CAF artist or the gory Red Sonja-esque Frank Miller cover to <i><a href="https://baneofnecks.tumblr.com/post/190446869314/cover-of-loc-1-jan1980-on-comics-opinion-and" target="_blank">LOC</i></a> #1, I figure you guys got off lucky with this.<br /><br />Diabolu Frankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608317781914932095.post-24813483778767511862022-08-01T23:39:00.002-05:002022-08-01T23:41:37.404-05:00Wonder Woman Giant 2020<h1>

Make no mistake, this piece was an extremely complicated ask. I've gotten a ton of commissions over the years, and part of why that usually works out for me is that I don't give a lot of "art direction." I trust the artist, and I'm looking to see their vision manifested through my chosen subject. I only expect them to have fun and give me something that will make me happy, which happens more often than not. This was entirely different. I've done several jams, which requires a lot more specificity, and there's usually several contributors who get stuff wrong or simply muck things up. While more involved, that's still usually down to "keep your part in scale with everyone else and have your subject otherwise interact well with the others." Regardless, there's typically one or more parts that have to get buried by better work, or else stand out like a sore-- something. But this commission was different from that as well. It was one guy, trying to do all that I ask from solo & jam commissions, spread out across seven subjects, plus background & colors. On top of that, because it's for a fan fiction project with a dense, arcane continuity, I'm layering a bunch of weird alterations without any existing reference on top of everything else. Huge ask.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IBK5EjbUIbc/YSMzXDQZ-aI/AAAAAAAADmk/3y5J9WMjFp0m25ocNW58brfQW9EBFay4wCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/Justice-League-Extreme-Pencils-01.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="618" data-original-width="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IBK5EjbUIbc/YSMzXDQZ-aI/AAAAAAAADmk/3y5J9WMjFp0m25ocNW58brfQW9EBFay4wCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/Justice-League-Extreme-Pencils-01.jpg"/></a></div>
1994's "The Challenge of Artemis" saw Diana replaced in the pages of <i>Justice League America</i> for a few issues during one of its least popular periods, until the Bana-Mighdall was killed off at the end of the story arc. During this period, Diana was running around in a much-maligned jacket and bike shorts ensemble designed by Brian Bolland. Artemis never really had a proper costume, wearing generic Amazon garb in her earliest appearances, the classic Wonder Woman suit for a few months, an unfortunate green number in a little read literal revival mini-series, and mix-and-match variations since. Artemis is mostly defined by an enormous "Blond Ambition Tour" ponytail, arched eyebrows, and melee weapons (favoring a battle ax or bow & arrows.) While Diana's C + C Music Factory look was dated-on-arrival, it's firmly grounded in the period I wanted referenced. So, I forced Artemis into the second hand thrift store threads, using her one-time nom de puella mala of Requiem.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Di7a-LPMzdY/YSMyqbX8uPI/AAAAAAAADmc/QoX-efXG5jollZasVF-hzZ5RNLVtE9KswCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/Justice-League-Extreme-Sketch1.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="618" data-original-width="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Di7a-LPMzdY/YSMyqbX8uPI/AAAAAAAADmc/QoX-efXG5jollZasVF-hzZ5RNLVtE9KswCNcBGAsYHQ/s0/Justice-League-Extreme-Sketch1.jpg"/></a></div>
If you look at the initial thumbnail, while being at the technical center of the image, Artemis is easily the most minor element in the drawing. She's a modest portion of whipped sour cream cheese filling in a spiral of beef, all breast and rump. I otherwise liked the layout, but I specifically requested that Artemis be given more prominence and dynamism. The artist complied by moving Artemis up to the front row and giving her a lasso, seeming ready to choke a beh. I was content with the change, though Artemis was still oddly passive, and I suspect the artist thought so, too. Unprompted, Green ditched the lasso (barely touched dangling off her belt for most of Artemis' Wonder Woman tenure, except for when the White Magician killed her with it) and shifted her pose a third time. For reference, most of the postures were set in the thumbnail, with only the Eradicator flipping positions (as a direct result of the changes made to Artemis.) I think Green recognized that Artemis mattered to me more than most, and I also feel that he wanted to keep at her until she finally felt "right." I'm happiest with this final take, offering more of Artemis' confidence and attitude, battle ready, and better reflecting her continuity.<br /><br />

Frank returns after a mere five months off to post an actual second episode in the same "Year of the Cheetah," featuring another guest cameo from <a href="https://wonderwomanwarriorforpeace.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Wonder Woman: Warrior for Peace</a> podcast's <a href="https://twitter.com/wonderwomanwfp" target="_blank">Angela</a>! The 2019 release of <b>Wonder Woman 1984</b> is looking more like 2021, so we guess Warner Brothers plans to hold out until we at least finish covering the appearances of the original incarnation of the Cheetah. Gee, we hope it doesn't hurt their pocket money in the meantime. Our coverage includes Priscilla Rich's two published stories set on Earth-One during the Silver Age of Comics, <i>Wonder Woman</i> #160 & 166...<br /><br />

Frank returns after another year & a half's sabbatical to find... the <a href="https://wonderwomanwarriorforpeace.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Wonder Woman: Warrior for Peace</a> podcast had returned from its own year of absence. To celebrate our both running again, <a href="https://twitter.com/wonderwomanwfp" target="_blank">Angela</a> has an opening cameo to foreshadow her continuing appearances in a series of Cheetah-centric episodes to tide you over while <b>Wonder Woman 1984</b> keeps being delayed. I bet Warner Brothers wish they'd just released the sequel back in November of 2019 as originally planned. But we're more interested in prequels today, as we travel back to the earliest stories of the original incarnation of the Cheetah. We cover every one of Priscilla Rich's published Golden Age stories set on Earth-Two, including <i>Sensation Comics</i> #22 & 36, <i>Wonder Woman</i> #6, 28, 196, & 230, <i>Comic Cavalcade</i> #11, <i>Crisis on Infinite Earths</i> #5 & 9, and <i>DC Special</i> #3. Most especially, we survey the Wonder Woman newspaper strip from November 20, 1944-March 30,1945, the most exhaustive and involved version of the initial Cheetah saga.<br /><br />

There wasn't much related to the DC Trinity featured in "1993: The Year of Change" editorial presentation that didn't get published, and thus is readily available for anyone looking for it. Diana's entry featured Lee Moder's <a href="https://new-wonder-woman.blogspot.com/2018/09/1993-wonder-woman-experience-majesty.html" target="_blank">“Experience The Majesty”</a> and a reasonably accurate description of the year's stories, although the promised Demon Etrigan and Supergirl guest appearances failed to materialize.<br /><br />
Ditto <b>Justice League America</b>, wherein the Amazing Amazon had already taken over as team leader in the wake of Superman's "death." The earlier, better J.L.A. stories were incongruously reprinted in <a href="http://everydayislikewednesday.blogspot.com/2016/11/review-superman-and-justice-league-of.html" target="_blank">Superman and The Justice League of America Vol. 2</a> (despite his perishing in a non-reprinted comic set two issues into the trade.) I suppose the gambit paid off, because the sales on that trade were good enough to warrant a continuation into <b>Wonder Woman and Justice League America <a href="http://everydayislikewednesday.blogspot.com/2017/04/on-wonder-woman-and-justice-league.html" target="_blank">Vol. 1</a></b> & even more incredibly <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wonder-Woman-Justice-League-America/dp/1401274005" target="_blank">Vol. 2</a> (which would more accurately but less commercially be considered a "Judgment Day" crossover collection.) These are unfortunately among the worst regarded League stories ever published, and the covers to the original issues were so bad (and non-Wonder Woman-centric) that DC actually sprung for Tom Grummett to draw two new ones (common in the old days for collections, but a rarity now.) I dig the first one especially, so I'm not sorry DC neglected to use the Dan Jurgens/Rick Burchett promo image above. I'm not aware if it ever appeared anywhere else.<br /><br />

On a shore of Paradise Island, Queen Hippolyta looked on as her teenage daughter Diana used her Amazon bracelets to deflect lightning bolts during a rainstorm. Aphrodite appeared in the heavens to condemn this frivolous use of the pantheon's gifts, and ordered Diana to find an appropriate suitor by sundown to prove herself worthy of the Goddess of Love's continued patronage. Diana was swiftly propositioned by her Silver Age beaus Mer-Boy and Bird-Boy, but she only had eyes for a beautiful new arrival, Centaur-Boy. This suitor demonstrated great powers, but was also terribly conceited, only wishing to talk about himself. Though she struggled with her desire for him, Diana ultimately lassoed him to demand the truth. "Your beauty is only skin deep, Centaur-- and I could never love anyone whose flaws outweighed his charm! You're part of Aphrodite's test, aren't you?"<br /><br />
And so it went that Centaur-Boy was a mere illusion, and Aphrodite congratulated Diana's passing the true test to gauge her understanding of "the value of the love that powers you... No matter what the threat, you must always be true to your heart-- and never give it to one unworthy!" Centaur-Boy vanished, leaving Wonder Girl to contemplate whether she would someday choose between Mer-Boy and Bird-Boy.<br /><br />
“Wonder Girl's Mystery Suitor!” was a short back-up story in <i>Silver Age 80-Page Giant</i> #1 by Mark Waid & Ty Templeton

In an adventure set during the early days of the Teen Titans, Wonder Girl Donna Troy was helping her friends read their fan mail, and said of one solicitation to take her to the prom, "Ha ha ha. Tell him my eight-foot alien boyfriend doesn't like me dating other guys." An autocratic lawman at the beachfront property of the ultra-rich Seaside used hi-tech mind control and a well armed masked gestapo to create a town of Stepford teens. Individual young people manage to temporarily rebel and send letters seeking the aid of the Titans. Wonder Girl suffered the archer Speedy's incessant flirtations while investigating with Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad. Soon, the team was forced to battle Sheriff John Law's police force, captured, and tortured. In Wonder Girl's case, she was held in space by magnetic poles repelling shackles holding her arms and legs. With Robin unable to think, Speedy came up with a plan that used Donna's magnets to help free the team. Donna complimented Speedy, which only invited more advances.<br /><br />
Meanwhile, the alien Agamemno caused the foes of the Justice League of America to swap bodies with our young heroes' mentors. Batman in The Penguin's body, Aquaman in Black Manta's, and Flash in Mr. Element's sought help from their charges, but found that they were off on a mission. Tracing the Titans to Seaside, the trip was unable to convince their wards of their true identities, and a three way clash ensued involving Sheriff Law and the Titans themselves being mind-controlled. Eventually, "The Penguin" helped Robin overcome his conditioning and capture Law's men, while the Sheriff himself appeared to perish and the "villains" made their escape. In a story largely centered on Robin, the Boy Wonder never does manage to figure out that Batman and Penguin have swapped places, despite some rather arch tells. "The Tyrannical Terror of Sheriff Law" was by Marv Wolfman, Pat Oliffe, and Andrew Hennessy. For my taste, there were far too many turnabouts without much actual progress, and the premise was exactly the sort of arch throwaway nonsense that makes me continue to avoid actual Silver Age Titans material. Oliffe draws a lovely Donna, but she isn't given much to do.

This episode, Frank covers the first major arc of the William Messner-Loebs run, "Exile in Space," which ran in <i>Wonder Woman</i> vol. 2 (1987 series) #66-71 (1992-1993.) Since nobody actually refers to the "Space Pirates" story by that name, we'll use the story title from #69 instead. This is one of Frank's favorite legends of the Amazing Amazon, featuring art by Paris Cullins and a host of inkers, with an especially epic series of Brian Bolland covers. This time, the show will run without commercial interruption.<br /><br />

This episode, we look at a pair of the very few <i>Elseworlds</i> out-of-continuity "imaginary stories" with Wonder Woman as a billed star. First we adapt previous coverage of 2003's <a href="http://new-wonder-woman.blogspot.com/2011/05/wonder-woman-blue-amazon-2003.html" target="_blank">The Blue Amazon</a> one-shot special by Randy & Jean-Marc Lofficier with art by Ted McKeever. The core of the episode is a fresh look at 1996's <i>Superman/Wonder Woman: Whom Gods Destroy</i> prestige format 4-issue mini-series by Chris Claremont, Dusty Abell and Drew Geraci. As a special bonus, coverage includes excerpts from a 2016 interview with the writer discussing this project.<br /><br />

"This is a costly and compromised war. You are like me, but must disguise yourself as one of them. It disgusts me to look at you." Giganta was dressing in a black evening gown for a formal celebration of the Legion of Doom's presumed victory, as Gorilla Grodd continued to lecture her. Soon enough, the Hall of Doom was raided by heroes garbed in protective armor against Brainiac's miniature mind-controlling robotic worms. Wonder Woman's was especially hideous amongst a motley collection of fashion faux pas, and further couture demerits for Giganta destroying her elegant wear in favor of growing into her usual leopard print. At least Giganta was in the fight for the duration, whereas Cheetah joined other lesser Legionnaires in being tied up with Plastic Man (literally.) </br></br>
Outside, possessed teen heroes, including Wonder Girl, fought the Doom Patrol. Donna choked Elasti-Girl with her lasso. Wonder Woman spent some time tangled up in Clayface before he was called away on another matter, and Cheetah managed to evacuate to the city she controlled via transport tube.</br></br>
This issue demonstrates the difficulty of juggling so many characters and plot elements. Wonder Woman pretty much drops out of the story from here, save two limp moments in as many issues, and Wonder Girl is just trotted out for a cameo.</br></br>
<img src="http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y437/Diana-Prince-68/Fanciful%20Fiction/Justice11WonderWoman.jpg" /></br></br>
Metamorpho, Red Tornado and Martian Manhunter all teamed up on Giganta, but she would not fall, and instead took the battle outside with Hawkman and Hawkgirl joining the fray. Green Lantern John Stewart freed everyone from Brainiac's mind controlling bugs, including Wonder Girl. Giganta persevered, until Elasti-Girl sucker punched her.</br></br>
Wonder Woman didn't visibly contribute to the burly brawl, and it even looked like Superman freed her from some rubble at one point. The Armored Amazon almost tangled with Solomon Grundy, but Green Lantern's destruction of Brainiac's mind-controlling technology removed the need. Wonder Woman was consoled by the rescued Steve Trevor, but did not remove her armor. Per Princess Diana's standard operating procedure, Donna Troy was nowhere near her. Wonder Girl joined the Teen Titans and other heroes in liberating the innocents trapped in Scarecrow's creepy city, instead.</br></br>
Call <i>Justice</i> what you like (I'd use "stupid, boring, pretentious, ponderous, and overall amateurish" in regards to the storytelling) but at least it respected Wonder Woman's villains. Cheetah was scary in earlier issues, and Giganta took on a whole host of JLA-listers. Too bad the Amazing Amazon herself was butchered in this series, overcompensating for her hawkishness in <i>Kingdom Come</i> through victimization here.</br></br>
<img src="http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y437/Diana-Prince-68/Fanciful%20Fiction/Justice12WonderWoman.jpg" /></br></br>
"I head the team that goes to Cheetah's city. Superman should <b>not</b> have put me in charge of this. I don't know how long I have left. How long before the Centaur's Poison undoes the blessing of the gods?" Hawkgirl, Hawkman, Batgirl, the Flash and Plastic Man went with Wonder Woman to the African-style plain, but she sent them away to evacuate. Diana sensed that they were being hunted, and wished to draw out and distract the Cheetah while the others did good.</br></br>
The former Priscilla Rich lunged at the former Amazing Amazon, tearing her armor. Diana removed her helmet to show the poison's handiwork, giving her cracked obsidian "skin" like molten rock and a wicked case of alopecia. "You can't hurt me anymore, Priscilla... Did you really think I would be patient forever? Did you really think I would let you take away the very people I left Paradise Island to serve? Did you... Cheetah?"</br></br>
See what she did there? See, Brainiac was going to turn everyone in the cities into Coluan organic robot thingees and Diana had all this compassion for Priscilla's mental breakdown but then the villainess crossed the line and Diana called her by her evil name and ooo sick burn! Also, Diana blocked one swipe of Cheetah's claws with her bracelets, then headbutted her unconscious, implying that Cheetah was a wimp who had only succeeded in the initial poisoning through Diana's misplaced grace. Way to neuter the kitty cat.</br></br>
<img src="http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y437/Diana-Prince-68/Fanciful%20Fiction/Justice12Mother.jpg" /></br></br>
The Flash helped Wonder Woman walk across a Plastic Man bridge as they led the exodus from Cheetah's city. "We'll stop this curse, Diana. We always do. We'll figure out a way. You don't have to die."</br>
"They're safe, Flash. Don't worry about me. They're safe."</br></br>
Nine pages later, Wonder Woman reappeared in a spread located on a Paradise Island beach. Diana had suffered death by reversion to clay #34, so Queen Hippolyte prayed to the gods, who restored Diana as part of a fresh mound of pale clay, leaving a black ol' husk behind. If the subtext is troubling, add to it the fact that Superman had spent the prior two pages reviving a helpless Zatanna through CPR after she nearly died in outer space. Were any male heroes rescued from certain death by heroines? Heck, there weren't even any non-female heroes at the brink of death in the rest of the series. Aquaman had a chunk of his brain carved out and just grew it back while laying on an operating room table. I should also mention that Diana 2 was of course naked, and that neither Steve Trevor nor Donna Troy were present at the revival ceremony, because it's all about maintaining the integrity of the character with these guys.</br></br>
I guess the moral of the story was that Diana was naive to think Cheetah's soul was salvageable, so once Diana was willing to give Priscilla up to damnation, the princess could herself be saved. All, she's selfless and stuff and things. Gods, what I'd give to re-segregate the DC Universe and allow creator's concepts to remain true to their intent. Praise Hestia I don't have to read any more of this pretty ugly self-important vacancy.</br></br>
"Justice, Vol. 3," collecting the last four issues of the 2005-2007 mini-series, was plotted and painted by Alex Ross. The script was provided by Jim Krueger, and the penciled layouts by Doug Braithwaite.Diabolu Frankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608317781914932095.post-70239385467373786042017-04-05T22:43:00.002-05:002017-04-05T23:35:37.677-05:00Podcast-- Operation: Cheetah (1992)<h1>

Finally, we're talking about the William Messner-Loebs run on Wonder Woman, the host's favorite series of Amazing Amazon adventures! Unfortunately, the transition out of George Pérez's long and well regarded run isn't the smoothest. We chart some of the bumps along the way from <i>War of the Gods</i> to <i>Wonder Woman Special</i> #1 & <i>Wonder Woman</i> (Vol. 2) #63. Bonus interview material read from <i>Amazing Heroes</i> #197 featuring Loebs, artist Jill Thompson, and editors Tom Peyer & Dan Thorsland discussing thoughts early in the run, story plans that never came about, and more!<br /><br />

By all indications, 2017 needs a podcast dedicated to Queen Hippolyta's "second," "other," "dark" daughter who debuted on November 7, 1972 in <i>Wonder Woman</i> #204, so we're "Introducing Nubia!" The soul sister of the Amazing Amazon went on to appearances in <i>Wonder Woman</i> #205-206, including a solo back-up story, plus cameos in <i>Supergirl</i> #9 and <i>The Super Friends</i> #25 before vanishing from comics entirely for twenty years (and actually closer to a quarter century if you discount a single page of one of those comics.) Despite barely escaping 1973 in comics, Nubia managed to make appearances on television and in toy form when that was an extremely rare accomplishment, and her origin has a massive impact on Wonder Woman's own. Nubia was a contender, and we argue that she still matters 45 years later on this episode!<br /><br />
Nubia is one of the least heralded but most valuable creations of Robert Kanigher, and possibly his single most important contribution across twenty years as a writer/editor of the Amazing Amazon (depending on how much credit you extend him on Wonder Girl.) The world is still waiting for Nubia to be fully embraced as a key component of Amazonian lore! For more on Nubia, check out <a href="http://new-wonder-woman.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-world-is-waiting-for-nubia.html" target="_blank">my 2012 article on her</a>, newly revised with fresh scans to replace the busted embeds Comicvine left me with.<br /><br />

This episode we look at the brief return of writer/editor Robert Kanigher to the Wonder Woman series following a campaign by Gloria Steinem to return the Amazing Amazon to her roots. Kanigher decided what that meant was that he could recycle his own decades old scripts, so we get to simultaneously cover 1973's <i>Wonder Woman</i> #207-208, but also the original presentations from <i>Wonder Woman</i> #37 (September-October 1949) #33 (January-February 1949) and #55 (September-October 1952) of "The Riddle Of The Chinese Mummy Case!" "The Four Dooms" and "The Chessmen of Doom" by Robert Kanigher, Harry G. Peter, Ric Estrada & Vince Colletta.<br />
