Wonder Woman '77, Vol 1 by Cat Staggs, Drew Johnson, Richard Ortiz, Marc Andreyko, Matt Haley, Jason Badower
5.0
I vaguely remember the original series from repeats in the early 90’s. And I do remember loving what I saw.
This collection of comics captures the tone and mood of that series and tell a few stories that could have come from the show. And it does a pretty good job, while tackling a few issues that are still relevant today. The art work is pretty good - Wonder Woman looks like Lynda Carter and the action is clean and fluid. My only complaint is the first story has a lot of ‘sexy’ panels. There’s even one character that I’m certain could not possibly stand like the way portrayed, in order to show bum and boobs. But it gets much better after that tale.
Each story is different, dealing with Wonder Woman’s comic villains. Some are given a solid reason for their actions, and some are given a redemption of sorts. One thing to really take away from this collection is the overall hopeful tone. Things will be made right, people will get help and Diana always looks glamorous. Each story also finishes with a smile, just like the show according to the article at the back. And I liked it a lot.
I’ll keep my eye out for more.
Read if you are a fan of the original series, Wonder Woman fan, or just wanting a feel good read.
