What the Book is About
"Beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, stronger than Heracles, and swifter then Hermes" - Wonder Woman, the first and greatest comic book heroine, was "born" in 1941, more than 60 years ago. As a child, she was molded from clay by her mother, the Amazon queen Hippolyta. Named Diana, she was given life, beauty, miraculous powers, and magical weapons by the gods of Olympus. When the Amazons learned that Ares, God of War, planned to destroy the world, they held a contest to find a champion to oppose Ares - and Diana won. Soon she had not only defeated the war god, she had embarked on a mission to bring peace, love, and understanding to all humankind!
Wonder Woman: The Ultimate Guide to the Amazon Princess gives full, updated details of Wonder Woman's thrilling exploits, of her fight for world peace, and of awesome adversaries, such as the calculating and cruel Ares, Cheetah, half-woman, half lethal feline, and Doctor Psycho, the evil, gnomish mind-meddler, all culled from the archives of DC Comics.
Spectacular, specially commissioned, detailed artworks reveal the Amazons' magical isle of Themyscira, and Wonder Woman's arsenal of magical weapons.
Packed with original comic book images and with a Timeline charting Wonder Woman's entire career, this book will delight fans of all ages - and win many new ones!
