John Byrne was given Superman, Frank Miller got to work on Batman, and Perez chose to take on Wonder Woman. This reboot of Wonder Woman came in the wake of DC’s 50th Anniversary, a time they used to wipe the slate clean for a lot of their flagship titles and bring in the hot talent of the day to reinvent them. I can’t say I was a huge fan of Wonder Woman beyond seeing her on Saturday morning cartoon appearances, but Perez’s reimagining of the character had me captivated. In one of these random assortments, I ended up with three issues from writer-artist George Perez.

They were typically split by a company, DC Comics or Marvel, and I have always had a soft spot for DC when it comes to the periodicals. When I was first collecting comics, I would eagerly save up $10 and purchase one of the grab bag boxes offered up in the Sears catalog.

With the release and overwhelmingly positive response to the Wonder Woman film, I thought it would be interesting to go back to a run on the comic book that has always felt definitive to me. Written by George Perez, Greg Potter, and Len Wein Wonder Woman by George Perez Vol.1 (DC Comics)
