Wonder Woman - Her origin and creator.
William Moulton Marston was an educational consultant in 1940 for Detective Comics, Inc. (now DC Comics). Marston saw that the DC line was filled with such übermensch images as those of Green Lantern, Batman, and its flagship character, Superman. In response, Marston created a super female hero to serve as a role model for girls, and introduced the idea to Max Gaines, co-founder with Jack Liebowitz of All-American Publications. Given the go-ahead, Marston developed < ...

Wonder Woman - Her origin and her creator.
William Moulton Marston was an educational consultant in 1940 for Detective Comics, Inc. (now known as DC Comics). Marston saw that the DC line was filled with images of super men such as Green Lantern, Batman, and their flagship character Superman. Seeing all these male heroes, Marston was left wondering why there was not a female hero.
Thus inspired, Marston developed the character of Wonder Woman with his wife Elizabeth (Sadie) Holloway Marston who serve ...

Justice League - Silver and Bronze Age versions.
The original team first appeared in The Brave and The Bold #28 (1960) as a revival of the Justice Society of America (or "JSA") under a new, more dynamic name of "League" and soon gained its own title that same year. The creator was a writer named Gardner Fox, who was inspired by the Justice Society to create a similar, contemporary concept, and who decided upon the word "league" influenced by the National Football League and Major League Baseball. The artist for the first ...

Justice Society of America - The Golden Age.
The JSA first appeared in All-Star Comics #3 (Winter 1940), during what is now called the Golden Age, and was essentially a sales gimmick, featuring several characters from various DC Comics publications in order to increase their exposure. There was a rule for the first few years of the group's history that whenever a member received his own title, he would leave the book. Thus, The Flash left after #6 (August-September 1941), Green Lantern after #7 (October-November 1941), and so forth. Superman and Batman were never full members, but were " ...

| | | | Alley Award: Encyclopedia II - Wally Wood - 1950s and the Silver Age Working from a studio at West 64th Street and Columbus Avenue in Manhattan, Wood began to attract attention in 1950 with his highly detailed and imaginative science-fiction artwork for EC and for Avon Comics, some in collaboration with Joe Orlando. During this period, he drew for a wide variety of subjects and genres, including adventure, romance, war and horror; message stories (for EC's Shock SuspenStories); and satir ...

| | | | Alley Award: Encyclopedia II - Wonder Woman - In other media In 1944-45 there was a short-lived Wonder Woman daily comic strip, written by Charles Moulton and drawn by H. G. Peter.
The first attempt to translate Wonder Woman to the small screen was in 1967, when the success of the Batman television show led to a flurry of copycat series. Greenway Productions, the company behind the Batman show, produced a four-and-a-half-minute Wonder Woman test reel starring Ellie Wood Walker as Diana Prince, Linda Harrison as Diana's Wonder Woman alter ego and Maudie Prickett as her mother. As with Batman, the reel took a comic slant on the cha ...

| | | | Alley Award: Encyclopedia II - Wally Wood - Final years In the 1970s, following bouts with alcoholism, Wood suffered from kidney failure. A stroke in 1978 caused a loss of vision in one eye. Faced with declining health and career prospects, he committed suicide.
EC editor Harvey Kurtzman, who had worked closely with Wood during the 1950s, once commented, "Wally had a tension in him, an intensity that he locked away in an internal steam boiler. I think it ate away his insides, and the work really used him up. I think he delivered some of the finest work that was ever drawn, and I think it's to his credit that he put so much intensity into his work at great sacrifice to hi ...
