First of all, I gave this four stars not because it's fantastically executed, but becauase of Marston's noble attempt at giving the comic world of the 's a strong female character. There have already been so much written about the bondage, the fat sidekick, the surreal Wonder Woman world, that I don't have much more to say other than I Wonder Woman Chronicles: Chronicles Volume 3 enjoyed the bondage and seeing an effective and happy fat sidekick. LOL Bottom line, it's a really fun read, entertaining, surreal Haha, where to begin? LOL Bottom line, it's a really fun read, entertaining, surreal, and worth the time. View 1 comment. Jan 22, Jennifer rated it liked it. The art is a strange mashup with Wonder Woman drawn in clear almost frozen lines to emphasize her ethereal beauty and all the other characters are drawn with a thick manic line, reminding me of painters like Dix and Schiele. It is almost like she is an alien simultaneously living in another dimension. The storylines are wild to the extent that you would never want to use this to explain the differences between men and women. I have no idea how to rate this, there is so little to compare it to! Jul 31, John Porcellino rated it it was amazing Shelves: historycomics. A few years ago I found out about the weird sexually-tinged origins of Wonder Woman and thought it sounded fascinating. She was created by a guy who was into submission and female superiority and tried to spread his beliefs through these comics. So I picked this book up awhile back, but couldn't get through it. The art was fantastic, but the writing seemed kind of a slog to get through who are these weird college girls who eat candy?!?!

Just picked it up again, and this time I Wonder Woman Chronicles: Chronicles Volume 3 right into this incredibly bizarre and fascinating work. Again, the art by HG Peter is amazing; gorgeous inky linework with an unsettling off-kilter quality. The re coloring is just fine, especially on the awesome sea-based scenes. But of course the really remarkable thing is that someone somewhere is tied up on damn near every page of this book! Favorite scene is where Wonder Woman goes back to Paradise Island incognito and enters a contest where ladies ride giant kangaroos and compete to see how many "girls" they can lasso and hogtie. These comics are definitely out there, delightfully campy and weird. A fun read. Aug 30, Pam rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novelsaction-adventurechick-lit. An interesting read, definitely a different era. Amazing that such a strong female character was created back then, even though her motives are driven by love at the first sight of a man the first man she ever saw in fact, who also happened to be unconscious. Got to love statements like "But Etta, if you keep getting fatter you'll never catch a man! Aug 05, Jen rated it it was amazing. Totally awesome. Love the old Wonder Woman Chronicles: Chronicles Volume 3 art and the old school ideals. Am I a bad feminist if I find it charming? Love it, I bought this for an art project but now I think I'm going to have to buy the second volume Jul 11, Nicole Westen rated it liked it. It's always interesting re-reading the original comics.

After reading about the gender equality origins of the character, I wanted to see how it actually played out in the real comic, as opposed to the author's interpretation. For the most part, it did. Wonder Woman is genuinely a strong woman character for the era, or any era really, but the more so for when it came out. There are some elements that date it to the tim I had recently read The Secret History of Wonder Woman, so being able to find a collection Wonder Woman Chronicles: Chronicles Volume 3 the original Marston comics was a bonus. There are some elements that date it to the time period, but surprisingly few, which was good to see. Another thing that I liked is that Paradise Island, where she is from, may Wonder Woman Chronicles: Chronicles Volume 3 like ancient Greece but is actually more technologically advanced than the rest of the world! I always wondered how they knew about how to block bullets, or even had an invisible jet. But now I know! As much as I liked the new Wonder Woman movie, the original comic makes a lot more sense than having them exist as an isolated ancient Greek society. On the down side, sometimes the comics themselves weren't especially interesting, other than the premise. Some are good, but some were a slog to get through. But definitely interesting to read the original comic books of a great superhero character.

William Moulton Marston's Wonder Woman rescues herself and others, often including the man she loves, and to do it, she often pretends to let men capture her, all so that she can penetrate their defenses, learn their secrets and break free of bondage at the correct time. There's a particularly interesting issue in which she helps a housewife who is trying to secretly work against her husband's wishes, and the way that Marston navigates the issue is pretty ingenious. Despite Marson's forward thinking, there are some unfortunate WWII type racial stereotypes and slurs Wonder Woman Chronicles: Chronicles Volume 3 Japanese soliders and some fat shaming of Etta Candy, Wonder Woman's regular backup, but Etta is also always portrayed as being strong and desirable, as she leads her troupe of sorority sisters into battle periodically when Wonder Woman calls. Like them, after reading this chronicle, I'll continue to be a loyal fan of Diana Prince and her alter ego. Jul 17, Evette rated it liked it. This was fun, though I was sad to see that Wonder Woman finally got around to nagging Etta Candy about her weight. Overall I'm glad I read these comics.

  • The Fall of Wonder Woman Ahmed Bhuiyan, Independent Researcher, Bangladesh the Asian Conference on Arts
    Diminished Power: The Fall of Wonder Woman Ahmed Bhuiyan, Independent Researcher, Bangladesh The Asian Conference on Arts & Humanities 2015 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract One of the most recognized characters that has become a part of the pantheon of pop- culture is Wonder Woman. Ever since she debuted in 1941, Wonder Woman has been established as one of the most familiar feminist icons today. However, one of the issues that this paper contends is that this her categorization as a feminist icon is incorrect. This question of her status is important when taking into account the recent position that Wonder Woman has taken in the DC Comics Universe. Ever since it had been decided to reset the status quo of the characters from DC Comics in 2011, the character has suffered the most from the changes made. No longer can Wonder Woman be seen as the same independent heroine as before, instead she has become diminished in status and stature thanks to the revamp on her character. This paper analyzes and discusses the diminishing power base of the character of Wonder Woman, shifting the dynamic of being a representative of feminism to essentially becoming a run-of-the-mill heroine. iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org One of comics’ oldest and most enduring characters, Wonder Woman, celebrates her seventy fifth anniversary next year. She has been continuously published in comic book form for over seven decades, an achievement that can be shared with only a few other iconic heroes, such as Batman and Superman. Her greatest accomplishment though is becoming a part of the pop-culture collective consciousness and serving as a role model for the feminist movement.

  • Why No Wonder Woman?
    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

  • Chapter 3 Heroines in a Time of War: Nelvana of the Northern Lights And
    Chapter 3 Heroines in a Time of War: Nelvana of the Northern Lights and Wonder Woman as Symbols of the United States and Canada Scores of superheroes emerged in comic books just in time to defend the United States and Canada from the evil machinations of super-villains, Hitler, Mussolini, and other World War II era enemies. By 1941, War Nurse Pat Parker, Miss America, Pat Patriot, and Miss Victory were but a few of the patriotic female characters who had appeared in comics to fight villains and promote the war effort. These characters had all but disappeared by 1946, a testament to their limited wartime relevance. Though Nelvana of the Northern Lights (hereafter “Nelvana”) and Wonder Woman first appeared alongside the others in 1941, they have proven to be more enduring superheroes than their crime-fighting colleagues. In particular, Nelvana was one of five comic book characters depicted in the 1995 Canada Post Comic Book Stamp Collection, and Wonder Woman was one of ten DC Comics superheroes featured in the 2006 United States Postal Service (USPS) Commemorative Stamp Series. The uniquely enduring iconic statuses of Nelvana and Wonder Woman result from their adventures and character development in the context of World War II and the political, social, and cultural climates in their respective English-speaking areas of North America. Through a comparative analysis of Wonder Woman and Nelvana, two of their 1942 adventures, and their subsequent deployment through government-issued postage stamps, I will demonstrate how the two characters embody and reinforce what Michael Billig terms “banal nationalism” in their respective national contexts.

A Master's paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. May, 2017. 70 pages. Advisor: Rebecca Vargha This paper analyzes the representation of women in wartime era comics during World War Two (1941-1945) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (2001-2010). The questions addressed are: In what ways are women represented in WWII era comic books? What ways are they represented in Post 9/11 comic books? How are the representations similar or different? In what ways did the outside war environment influence the depiction of women in these comic books? In what ways did the comic books influence the women in the war outside the comic pages? This research will closely examine two vital periods in the publications of comic books. The World War II era includes the genesis and development to the first war-themed comics. In addition many classic comic characters were introduced during this time period. In the post-9/11 and Operation Iraqi Freedom time period war-themed comics reemerged as the dominant format of comics.

Female Friendships in Superhero Comics, 1940s to 1960s and Today Hannah Costelle Dr. Jill Parrott, Department of English and Theatre Comic book superheroines are the goddesses of modern times; they are the ideal beautiful, powerful women of America’s collective imagination whom girls have looked up to and emulated for decades. But these iconic examples of womanhood usually lack one of the key elements of humanity that enrich real women’s lives, an element that has been proven to increase women’s autonomy and confidence: female friendships. Wonder Woman may have led armies of female friends in the 1940s when superheroines first appeared in the comics pages, but by the 1950s and ‘60s, female characters confiding in one another and working together in the comics was a rarity.

  • Wonder Woman Unbound
    COMICS/LITERARY CRITICISM/POPULAR CULTURE WONDER WOMAN UNBOUND “I’ve never seen more information about Wonder Woman than in Wonder Woman Unbound. Tim Hanley tells us everything we’ve never asked about Wonder Woman because it simply never occurred to us: from her mythic Golden Age origins through her dismal Silver Age years as a lovesick romance comic character, and worse yet, when she lost her costume and powers in the late 1960s. Our favorite Amazon’s saga be- comes upbeat again with the 1970s advent of Gloria Steinem and Ms. magazine, and Lynda Carter’s unforgettable portrayal of her on television. And it’s all told with a dollop of humor!” —Trina Robbins, author of Pretty in Ink: North American Women Cartoonists, 1896–2013 ith her golden lasso and her bullet-deflecting bracelets, WWonder Woman is a beloved icon of female strength in a world of male superheroes. But this close look at her history por- trays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Super- man. When they debuted in the 1940s, Wonder Woman comics advocated female superiority and the benefits of matriarchy; her adventures were also colored by bondage imagery and hidden les- bian leanings. In the decades that followed, Wonder Woman fell backward as American women began to step forward. Ultimate- ly, Wonder Woman became a feminist symbol in the 1970s, and the curious details of her past were quickly forgotten. Exploring this lost history adds new dimensions to the world’s most beloved female character, and Wonder Woman Unbound delves into her comic book and its spin-offs as well as the motivations of her cre- ators to showcase the peculiar journey of a twentieth-century icon.
