Artemis as the new Wonder Woman. Art by Mike Deodato. Wonder Woman was rebooted in 1987. Writer Greg Potter, who previously created the Jemm, Son of Saturn series for DC, was hired to rework the character. He spent several months behind the scenes working with editor Janice Race on new concepts, before being joined by writer/artist George Pérez. Potter dropped out of writing the series after issue #2, and Pérez became the sole plotter, sometimes writing the finished scripts himself and sometimes being assisted by scripters such as Len Wein and Mindy Newell. Pérez produced 62 issues of the rebooted title.

Once upon a time, a large comic book publisher, deciding to focus its merchandising arm into action figures produced an early figure of its most non-licensed recognized character, Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman was not the first DC Direct action figure, but the most important character it lay its virgin hands on way back in 1999. Back then, only characters with cult appeal such as the Sandman had ever been made.
In 1987, writer/artist George Pérez rebooted "Wonder Woman," starting the series over at No. 1. Pérez delved into her Greek-mythological roots and gave her a pro-woman personality. His take is considered by many to be the definitive version of the character.
Etta Candy, another character who was introduced was used in many of the main storylines and affirmed her place in the Wonder Woman universe. Etta Candy was the leader of a sorority called the Holiday Girls. The reason why Etta stood out was that she had a distinctive figure and had a famous line in which she would yell “Woo-woo”.
