Single Highest Graded Copy in the world! WORLD’S HIGHEST GRADED COPY! From the guys who auctioned off the worlds best copy of action comics #1… The documentation that comes with this book is unprecedented, unique and historic in its own right! When DC Comics launched the very first female superhero to have her own solo comic book, they pulled no punches in making her a stunning success. And success is what they achieved, financially and historically. They presented an amazing amazon icon, part Greek warrior, part feminist, part symbol of empowerment, combined with some eye candy, all to create a lasting addition to the comic book world that be published consistently for the last 75 years, a feat only equaled by Superman and Batman. Dc tried her out on readers twice, first as a back up feature in All Star Comics #8, and then with a cover feature in Sensation Comics #1. It was then time to award her own book in the summer of 1942 with Wonder Woman #1. This issue featured not only her origin story and her introduction of longtime boyfriend Steve Trevor, but 3 more stories of Golden Age heroics. The buzz has only multiplied with the smashing box office success of the Gal Gadot solo Wonder Woman movie. Beloved by moviegoers, comic geeks, and critics alike, DC finally has a motion picture hit on its hands to rival the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight movies. This hype will only increase the value of this book. First, they ditched the musclebound, he-man prototype that performed amazing feats that young boys could only dream of, and introduced something else entirely. A powerful feminist, first and foremost, she also displayed an abundance of intelligence, patriotism, and beauty. William Moulton Marston, a Harvard psychologist newly famous for his polygraph invention, the hero created an ideal that young girls could look up to, and that young boys would respect. Unprecedented Documentation: To ensure that not only the readers, but that the publishers and editors would understand the significance of their new creation, a unique set of promotion materials were produced. An original photo of Marble reading the first issue. Also included is a press release sent to the editor of Harper’s magazine dated July 22, 1942, emphasizing the importance of comic books on American youth and how a female hero, already popular, is receiving her own book. The set also includes a small card asking publishers which historic female they should feature next in their “Wonder Women of History” series, following Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton. Lastly, a copy of Dr. Marsten’s essay Women: Servants For Civilization. Collectible ephemera like this was not meant to last and calling it rare is a vast understatement. These, the only copies in existence, and are not just for comic aficionados, but for historians everywhere. This very well may be the ONLY chance you ever have at owning this book.
