Wonder Woman '77 announced..

Post by cresent34 »

Wih the success of Batman '66, I suppose it was only a matter of time before this happened:

DC Digital‘s Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman must be doing decent business, as the publisher announced a second digital Wonder Woman title at the Download This panel at New York Comic-Con on Sunday; Wonder Woman ’77, inspired by the hit 1970s Wonder Woman TV show starring Lynda Carter. The series follows the digital-first format of the Batman ’66 comic, which is based on the 1960s Batman TV show.

Written by Marc Andreyko and illustrated by various artists, Wonder Woman ’77 will launch in December with a six weekly installments that will later be released in print. Further Wonder Woman ’77 stories are expected to follow in the future.

The Wonder Woman TV show ran for three seasons from 1976 to 1979, with a movie-length pilot in 1975, but the ’77 of the title is more than just an echo of the Batman ’66 name. The first season of Wonder Woman was set during World War II; the second season, which began airing in 1977, moved the action to the 1970s, and it’s the 70s-era Wonder Woman that DC Digital intends to revive for this series.

So how soon until "Superman '51"? And will they use Phyllis Coates or Noel Neill as Lois?
Catwoman: Think you can handle me?
Batman: I've got handcuffs.
Catwoman: Ooh.

As far as I can tell DC hates Superman and wants nothing to do with him or his tradition so probably never. :P

Me? I'm hoping for a Superman 78 DG serie, but I'll take a 51 series if it's what's given. ;)
