WONDER WEDNESDAY
On Wednesdays I look at various chapters in Wonder Woman’s history. Click here for previous installments.
This week we continue our look at The Twelve Labors, the series of mid-1970s adventures in which Wonder Woman insists on earning her way back into the Justice League of America by having fellow JLA heroes observe and judge her exploits.
But just as a side note, you may be interested to know that there’s a play about the creator and the lasting legacy of Wonder Woman,
Lasso of Truth, opening next week at Marin Theatre Company. Check back tomorrow for a link to my advance feature in the Marin IJ. I’ll actually be taking part in a panel discussion on the legacy of Wonder Woman after the 2pm matinee of Lasso on Saturday, March 1, alongside comic creator and women-in-comics historian Trina Robbins and Kristy Guevara-Flanagan, director of the documentary Wonder Women: The Untold Story of American Superheroines. So that may be a good time to come check it out if you’re into that sort of thing. Read more
