Revealing Wonder Woman's secret history

The Comics Journal, today, interviews author Jill Lepore about her new book, "The Secret History of Wonder Woman."

The New Yorker recently published an excerpt from the book, delving into the peculiar history of William Marston's character whose origins, as Lepore states, "lie in the suffrage and birth control movements."
 I'm looking forward to reading the whole thing.

IDW to publish silver-age Superman, Batman and 1944 Wonder Woman newspaper strips

This is cool news: Whilst the 1940s runs of the Superman and Batman comic strips have been published in book form, we haven't seen collection of later strips.

IDW typically does a great job with these historic comics projects, so I look forward to these..

Details:

Although DC and Kitchen Sink Press reprinted the first few years of the Superman and Batman newspaper strips in the 1990s, they only scratched the surface of the comics’ run: Superman, which featured the work of such creators as Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, Curt Swan and Wayne Boring, was serialized from 1939 to 1966. The Batman strip, originally titled Batman and Robin, saw three major runs — 1943 to 1946, 1966 to 1974, and 1989-1991. Wonder Woman’s newspaper tenure was much short-lived, lasting less than a year (in 1944).

The Superman daily strips will be released in three collections, organized by era — the Silver Age, the Atomic Age and the Golden Age — with Sunday reprints published in a separate, concurrent series later in the year.

“It’s like discovering an entire alternate universe of famous Silver Age comic book stories,” Dean Mullaney, who’s editing and designing the series, said in a statement. “It’s better than an imaginary story — it’s Jerry Siegel doing a remake of his classic Superman’s Return to Krypton! … it’s Curt Swan, not Al Plastino, drawing The Menace of Metallo. Superman fans might want to consider these strips as taking place on a brand-new world — Earth-N for Newspapers!”

Pete Poplaski, who created the covers for the Kitchen Sink Press editions, designed the covers, while It’s Superman! author Tom DeHaven wrote the foreword  for the Silver Age collection.

1974 Wonder Woman pilot with Cathy Lee Crosby coming to DVD Dec. 11

Here's details on Warner Archives Dec. 11 release of the 1974 "Wonder Woman" TV pilot. You can pre-order here.

Before Lynda Carter took the heroine back to World War II for her “New, Original” incarnation, statuesque Tennis Pro turned performer Cathy Lee Crosby swung the magic lasso in a very different TV incarnation. As developed by scribe John D.F. Black (Star Trek, Shaft), and seemingly influenced by her recent turn as a mod, cat-suited crime-fighter in the pages of her DC Comics home, this Amazon Princess was more superspy than superhero. But fret not, four-color fans! Many of the expected wondrous elements from bracelets and lassos to Paradise Island and invisible jets, all make an appearance, albeit with a sleek, seventies espionage superaction refit. Ricardo Montalban plays the laconic lothario who lurks at the top of a conspiracy to make off with ultra-secret code books, leading Agent Prince to discover an Amazon sister-in-exile (Anitra Ford).

Running Time:	73 minutes
Aspect Ratio:	4 X 3 FULL FRAME|ORIGINAL ASPECT RATIO - 1.37:1

Mike Allred art for Wonder Woman cosmetics

Turns out these nifty display materials for a line of Wonder Woman-themed cosmetics feature art by cartoonist Mike Allred (creator of Madman). Nice piece of memorabilia. But the person who took these shots and posted them on Mego Talk says he was told be a department store clerk that the display must be destroyed after use! Which is just nutty, if you ask me.

It's beginning to look a lot like Wonder Woman Wednesday.

Let your snarky comments about the costume begin now. Me, I think, y'know it's Wonder Woman for crying out loud. The costume, in whichever variation, has always been silly, and looks sillier yet when transposed to real life. Purists must admit that this one doesn't look much different than the original comic book version minus being a bit shinier and having pants, which, you must confess, are a tad more practical than bare legs when fighting crime. I'm more curious as to whether the show will be horrible and ridiculous or fun.

Wonder Woman's Steve Trevor cast

Justin Bruening, who starred in NBC short-lived Knight Rider reboot will star as Steve Trevor in the network's new Wonder Woman.

This version of Steve is a:

...government agent who crash-landed on the island of Themyscira and fell in love with Diana (Adrianne Palicki), who returned with him to New York. In the new television show they’ve broken up, with Diana living in Los Angeles and Steve working as a lawyer for the Justice Department. They’re apparently not over each other, though.

The NBC pilot is described as a reinvention of the DC Comics superheroine, who’s recast as Diana Themyscira, a successful corporate executive who fights crime as Wonder Woman while trying to balance the elements of her extraordinary life.

Lynda Carter likes new Wonder Woman costume

Original TV Wonder Woman says she likes the design of the heroine's new costume:

"What's not to like! Adrianne [Palicki] looks gorgeous and I'm really looking forward to seeing David E. Kelley's new series."

Here she is: First image of Adrianne Palicki in costume as Wonder Woman

Opinions of this costume, I'm sure, will be varied and heated among fans. It's similar to a re-design by Jim Lee did for the Wonder Woman comics but, in my view, looks far better.

I don't think Lynda Carter's get-up would fly today. A glorified bathing swimsuit would come across as silly and/or sexist.

Here's what I hope: That the new TV Wonder Woman kicks ass in every respect. That she's funny, smart and tough in the Buffy sense, and that the show will prove entertaining for both men and women and inspiring to kids, in particular girls -- who need some cool heroes to look up to.

Wonder Woman TV show logo and set pics surface

Superhero Hype has posted some set pics from the in-production Wonder Woman TV pilot, including a shot of the show's logo and cast member Elizabeth Hurley, who plays recurring villainess Veronica Cale.

Cary Elwes cast in Wonder Woman TV pilot

CORRECTION: I'd earlier said Elwes was playing Steve Trevor. My error, as pointed out by a commenter below. Here's the correct info:

Cary Elwes, star of "The Princess Bride" will appear as CEO of Themyscira Industries — the company owned by Diana Prince/Wonder Woman in the upcoming Wonder Woman TV pilot.

Adrianne Palicki ("Friday Night Lights") will play the Amazon princess and Elizabeth Hurley has been cast as villainess Veronica Cale, a recurring character.
