Golden Age Wonder Woman

Three panels from Sensation Comics #29, 1944. Mala is the Amazon in charge of the Amazon prison. You can imagine what Amazon prisons are like by now, I expect. Here's how Mala fares in Man's World:


First, a cab driver is rude to her.

She gets arrested for this stunt, though she does break the handcuffs with her Amazon strength.

Anyway, bad guys capture her and Wonder Woman:



Remember that the next time you have two Amazons in captivity, guys: if you chain them together, they won't be able to break them!

Absolutely not.

She's silly, cracked-out, whimsical, fundamentally happy and has a measurably positive impact on the world around her. Do you know what happens to characters like that in modern comics? This happens (http://i31.tinypic.com/oiawyo.jpg). Is that really what you want for Wonder Woman?

One has to take that chance, though - it's that or simply surrender. Never give up! Never surrender!
