WONDER WOMAN: FORGOTTEN LEGENDS #2-3 (1986)

Post by Zorro »

This was a 4 issue mini series that came out around when DC was doing their "Crisis on Infinite Earths" thing and therefore the previous continuities were having a last hurrah. This included Wonder Woman, who was going to be reintroduced in the new status quo. This was a 4 issue mini series which was deliberately drawn and written to emulate what William M. Marston and H.G. Peter did with the heroine they created. Therefore the story involves a little girl and a space villain named Atomia, and does involve some bondage. All 4 issues were released within a trade collection recently, along with some additional material from an annual. These scenes take place between issues 2-3 of the original 4 issue series.

https://readcomicbooksonline.org/reader ... Issue_1/43 (Diana is blasted by one of 2 alien sisters, who is betraying her and her sibling)
https://readcomicbooksonline.org/reader ... Issue_1/44 (Both Diana and said sister are bound hand and foot, and placed under glass tubes. Diana is still KO'd.)
https://readcomicbooksonline.org/reader ... Issue_1/45 (Sibling quarrel)
https://readcomicbooksonline.org/reader ... Issue_1/46 (Diana wakes up and starts to struggle in her bonds.)
https://readcomicbooksonline.org/reader ... Issue_1/47 (Diana snaps free and rescues the other woman, but is still groggy)
https://readcomicbooksonline.org/reader ... Issue_1/53 (Cover of issue #3, which may remind some of RETURN OF THE JEDI. And no, this cover is not a tease. The scene happens inside.)
https://readcomicbooksonline.org/reader ... Issue_1/55 (See? Literally page 1 of that issue and the scene begins. Diana has been captured and chained by Atomia, who has also gotten the annoying little girl who was tagging along Diana on her side for the time being.)
https://readcomicbooksonline.org/reader ... Issue_1/56 (Diana is still chained and ordered to the dungeon by the little girl, who is taking after Atomia since being a bratty queen is fun, I guess.)
https://readcomicbooksonline.org/reader ... Issue_1/59 (Steve Trevor hand-gags one of the alien sisters from before to aid in their escape.)
https://readcomicbooksonline.org/reader ... Issue_1/60 (Steve finds Diana behind bars, with her wrists still chained.)
https://readcomicbooksonline.org/reader ... Issue_1/61 (Diana breaks free of her bonds and helpfully reminds the readers that she only loses her powers when manacled by a man. She had been playing along in hopes of helping the little girl and thwarting Atomia's plans in a more subtle way, but is fine with a more direct approach now. The ol' "pretend to be captured to learn more about the baddie" ploy which Wonder Woman likely has a PhD in by now.)

Spoilers, the little girl comes around and Atomia is defeated. Maybe not the Wonder Woman graphic novel we're all waiting for scans of this week, but something for the archives.
