More of an encyclopedia ( ) This is a quick overview of the life of the Amazon princess with illustrations and comic pages by her main writers and artists. It starts with her origin as William Moulton Marston's way of conveying his controversial ideas on the psychology of the female. Marston believed women could rule over men with love and compassion. He also had some bizarre ideas about submission and bondage. The book also covers Wonder Woman's roots in Greek mythology, the reason I started reading her comics as a kid. She has been an ambassador, a mod crime fighter, an Amazon warrior, and the goddess of truth. Her storyline changes with every new writer, but they keep her as a strong, honest and compassionate woman. This book does not cover DC comics new 52. My only problem with the book is the abrupt ending. There was no concluding chapter, it just stopped. Kind of a jarring conclusion. Zeige 2 von 2
This beautiful and informative book is, of course, primarily for Wonder Woman devotees and those who love comic book history. Neither group will mind most of the book’s shortcomings. At the end of the day, it’s a book is a love letter to Marston’s “psychological propaganda”, a study of an iconography that has become a powerful modern archetype. Gehört zur Reihe
"Wonder Woman" is a comprehensive look at the first and most important female super hero of DC Comics, from the Golden Age to the present day. Wonder Woman is the most popular female super hero of all time and a cultural icon. During her existence, she has served in the army, renounced her powers at the height of the feminist movement, and helped launch Gloria Steinem's Ms. magazine. She has been--and continues to be--a trailblazing role model to girls and women and an integral part of the cultural zeitgeist. Loosely chronological, "Wonder Woman" explores idiosyncratic creator William Moulton Marston's interest in ideas of a "new woman" for the twentieth century; costume and character story changes over the decades; the influence on all other female comic book characters since her inception; and how Wonder Woman is still powerful and relevant in today's comic book renaissance. The book contains more than 250 Wonder Woman illustrations, including covers, interior comic art, and sketch treatments, beginning with her inception in the early 1940s to present-day treatments of the character. Celebrated artists include Alex Ross, Jim Lee, George Perez, and Brian Bolland, to name only a few. The book will also feature rare covers and pin-up posters created for past special-edition comic books. "Wonder Woman" is certain to appeal to fanboys and fangirls, collectors, and newcomers to the comic book genre alike. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
