I never looked at, let alone read the comics. I wasn't really a comic book person, but I definitely loved the show with Lynda Carter.You have to understand that I spoke no English until the age of 7 and comic books were not a source used to teach me the language.

I'm looking for suggestions for more good articles, photos, videos, blog posts, etc about this person. Think of this like the "External Resources" part of a Wikipedia page. What references would you add about my superhero?

- You got it all right except one thing. All American Comics originally published Sensation Comics, Wonder Woman and All Star Comics where Wonder Woman was a member of the Justice Society of America or the JSA. It was published by All American which was really a sister company of DC Comics, which was absorbed in 1944.
My favorite version of Wonder Woman was two different eras-the Golden Age (or WW2 version) and the one George Perez relaunched in the 1980's. When he left the book, it went downhill.

- Well, it would be good to have some of the comic book pictures, the early ones from the 40's. Didn't the show have her go from a 40's Nazi fighter to a modern day woman?
Also compare her to some real wonder women! Caroline Kennedy

P.S. I made this lens for the Squidoo Superheroes Project
I was invited to participate in the Squidoo Superhero Project, making 5 lenses in 2 weeks about the people who have inspired me, mentored me, changed the way I look at the world. The people I just want to say a big loud public THANKS to.If you buy anything from this page, you'll automatically (for free, of course) be sending a royalty straight to the Squidoo Charity Fund, which pays out to nonprofits like JDRF and Room to Read and Donors Choose every month.
