Though not celebrated as widely as some of his peers, penciller, inker and editor Dick Giordano is one of the key figures in the history of superhero comics.
The Amazon Princess' first assignment takes her to Man's World to teach humanity the ways of the goddess Gaea no matter who objects! More than 40 years after debuting in ALL STAR COMICS #8, Wonder Woman was reshaped by legendary comics creator George Perez and returned to the public eye in 1986. This updated Amazonian Princess met with such acclaim that Perez s original six-month commitment to the title was extended and extended until nearly five years had passed. Working with co-writer Len Wein and a host of talented inkers (including Bob McLeod, Dick Giordano, Bruce Patterson and Bob Smith), Perez brought Wonder Woman to a new generation of readers and to unprecedented levels of success. Now these groundbreaking stories are available in an all-new trade paperback edition. Collecting WONDER WOMAN #15-24 and WONDER WOMAN ANNUAL #1, this second volume in the series also includes a special gallery of archival art and information.
From the DC Explosion, a great cover showing the lightness and positive energy of the Amazon princess. Colour by Scott Dutton.

The HAWK and the DOVE September 1968 Published by DC Comics, New York By STEVE DITKO, Steve Skeates, Dick Giordano Hank and Don Hall were the two sons of Judge Hall, a respected fighter for justice. Then one day, an unseen voice chose the two boys to become instruments of justice themselves. Each merely had to say the words “Hawk” and “Dove,” respectively, to become transformed into a super-powered crimefighter. The interesting part was that the two boys were as different as could be when it came to their own personalities. Hank (Hawk) was a hard-headed blowhard who thought with his fists. Don (Dove), on the other hand, shunned violence and preferred to think his way out of a situation. Having debuted in Showcase #75, This 1968–69 series gave Hawk and Dove a chance to “spread their wings.” Much of the interest came from the pair’s obvious sibling rivalry, as well as the contrast between the fighter and the thinker. As the voice had no doubt surmised, the path to success lay in a combination of the two approaches. Premiere issue. "The Dove is a Very Gentle Bird" is written by Steve Skeates with art by Steve Ditko. From the pages of Showcase comes the sibling team of crime-fighters with completely opposite views on how to deal with society's problems. On the right, you have Hank, who as Hawk is a reactionary whose first and only response to lawbreakers is to meet violence with violence. On the left, you have Hank's brother Don, who as Dove is always willing to listen to, compromise with and understand the problems of those outside the law. When the Drop-Outs, a psychedelic group of armed robbers, crash a political fund-raiser held by Judge Hall, the boys' father, the differences between the two philosophies really comes to a head. Hank transforms into Hawk and throws himself at the crooks while Don, afraid that changing into Dove will arouse his father's ire, skirts around the edges of the fight looking for a clue as to the Drop-Outs' true identity. Set in the tumultuous '60s, this short-lived series captured the dichotomy of public opinion on how to deal with the perceived unraveling of civilization. It's overlaid with a healthy dose of Ditko's dogmatic "black or white," no moral grays, "A equals A" objectivist philosophy. The central concept which was originally inspired by the emerging political divides of the 1960s (see war hawks and war doves) traditionally revolves around two young heroes with contrasting personalities and diametrically opposed ideologies who, by speaking their super-heroic aliases, are transformed and granted power sets of heightened strength, speed, and agility. With Dove representing reason and nonviolence and Hawk representing force and aggression, they complement one another and find a state of balance in order to effectively combat evil. With Dawn's introduction, it was revealed that Hawk and Dove receive their powers from the Lords of Chaos and Order, respectively, and that their powers are mystic in origin. ▲ BEAUTIFUL FINE+++ CONDITION, with the usual surface wear & slight rubbing to covers from being read, displayed, handled and stored. ▲ Please refer to scanned images- they are accurate and have not been edited or corrected and, as always, are worth at least a thousand words. ▲ Use TITLE, KEYWORD, TERM, CREATOR, ARTIST, NAME or CHARACTER name in our STORE search tab to find other items. ▲ Additional images & information available upon request #sashakeen #qualitycomicsamerica @sashakeen @qualitycomicsamerica Please Visit our ETSY sister shops for more Quality Collectibles on our Home site at-- https://www.NEETSTUFF.com https://www.etsy.com/shop/ephemarama/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/Neetorama/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/qualitycomicsamerica/ ...................................................................................................................................................
