2010 Wonder Woman & Martian Manhunter Commission by Sal Velluto



I don't know why Sal Velluto isn't getting much work anymore, as he's an awesome penciller in the Neal Adams vein who really hit his stride when paired with inker Bob Almond on Black Panther, who I happen to have featured on a solo Velluto sketch I picked up nearly twenty years ago. I wish the owner of this piece had offered up a larger scan, as it features two of my favorite super-heroes ever! The Amazing Amazon wishes the Alien Atlas a happy 61st birthday today!

Podcast: A Final Adventure of Wonder Woman (1985)

Episode #4

Look for us on iTunes, ShoutEngine or Internet Archive

This episode finally, irrevocably breaks from its previous incarnation as a podcast! A seasonal/bi-annual show no more! No longer only coming out only when an issue of Wonder Woman '77 corresponds with the episode number! This edition, we cover an entire story arc, encompassing the entire (very brief) run of Wonder Woman's first female writer, Mindy Newell! That's "Tropidor Heat" & "A World in Chaos!" & " To Everything a Season..." from Wonder Woman #326-328 (July-December, 1985) plus the concluding 48-page story of the original volume, "Of Gods and Men," written by Gerry Conway! Don Heck draws most of this swan song to the Pre-Crisis Amazing Amazon, with a little help from Pablo Marcos. We also read excerpts from magazine articles and letters columns contemporaneous to the end of this era, and look forward to the next, which signals the changes coming to this show in celebration of the 75th anniversary year!

In the meantime, do check out Wonder Woman: Warrior for Peace: A podcast that explores the history of Wonder Woman on page and screen. It's currently five episodes deep chronologically covering the Golden Age, Iron Age, New 52, and 1970s TV show!

2010-2011 The Justice League of America 100 Project charity art by Walt Simonson

The Magnificent Seven Six! Superman! Batman! Wonder Woman! Flash! Green Lantern! Aquaman! Martian Manhunter!

In late 2000, a consortium of comic publishers came up with the idea to create a financial safety net for comic creators, much in the same fashion that exists in almost any other trade from plumbing to pottery. By March of 2001, the federal government approved The Hero Initiative as a publicly supported not-for-profit corporation under section 501 (c) (3).

Since its inception, The Hero Initiative (Formerly known as A.C.T.O.R., A Commitment To Our Roots) has had the good fortune to grant over $400,000 to the comic book veterans who have paved the way for those in the industry today.

The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterdays' creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It's a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.
