The Essential Wonder Woman Encyclopedia: The Ultimate Guide to the Amazon Princess

A definitive A-to-Z guide to the action-packed history of Wonder Woman,Â high-flying feminist icon and twenty-first-century movie star

Sheâ‚¬s asÂ wise as Athena and asÂ beautiful as Aphrodite, stronger then Hercules and swifter than Hermes. Blessed at birth by the gods themselves, Princess Diana left an idyllic island paradise ruled by wise and brave women to bring the peace, love, and nobility of the Amazons to the tumultuous world of humankind. In January 1942, Wonder Woman took the world of comicsâ‚¬"and its pantheon of superpowered malesâ‚¬"by storm.

Wielding her impervious silver bracelets and golden Lasso of Truth, sheâ‚¬s battled forces of evil from the Axis powers to a slew of super-villains worldwide, teamed up with the likes of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and the Flash, andÂ transcended comics and film to become a pop-culture superstar. Itâ‚¬s all here in more than 400 fact-filled pages:

â‚¬ Wonder Womanâ‚¬s origins, as imagined and reinterpreted by generations of comics writersâ‚¬"including her groundbreaking creator, William Moulton MarstonÂ
â‚¬ biographies of every major character in Wonder Womanâ‚¬s universe, including her mother, Hippolyta; sister, Donna Troy; and mortal ally Steve Trevorâ‚¬"as well as such classic foes as Ares, Cheetah, Hades, and the members of Villainy Inc.
â‚¬ classic black-and-white comic book artwork throughout
â‚¬ two sixteen-page full-color artwork insertsâ‚¬"plus a dazzling original cover illustration by fan-favorite artist Adam Hughes

Written by veteran Wonder Woman artist and writer Phil Jimenez and comics historian John Wells,Â The Essential Wonder Woman EncyclopediaÂ is the ultimate archive, proving that her die-hard devoteesÂ donâ‚¬t have to visit Paradise Island for a taste of heaven on earth.
