After Wonder Woman's debut in 1941, she was featured in Sensation Comics #1 (January 1942), and six months later in the summer of 1942, the first issue of her own comic, "Wonder Woman." Marston wrote all of Wonder Woman's appearances, until he died in 1947. The first artist was H.G. Peter, who gave her a simple but identifiable style, that contrasted with the other super-heroes of that time. When she was first created, she was the archetype of the perfect woman, beautiful, intelligent, strong, but still had a soft side, her powers coming from "Amazon concentration." He magic lasso was forged from the Magic Girdle of Aphrodite, which Wonder Woman's mother (Queen Hippolyta) was given by the goddess.

[O]f the alterations which followed the Crisis on Infinite Earths cross-over of 1986, the Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor of Earth-Two, along with all of their exploits, were erased from history. However, the two were admitted into Olympus. At the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Anti-Monitor appeared to have killed the Wonder Woman of Earth-One, but in reality, she had been hurled backwards through time, devolving into the clay from which she had been formed. Crisis on Infinite Earths erased all previously existing Wonder Women from continuity, setting the stage for a complete relaunch and reboot of the title.

Armed with bulletproof bracelets, magic lasso, and Amazonian training, Wonder Woman was the archetype of Marston's perfect woman. She was beautiful, intelligent, strong, yet still possessed a soft side. Her powers were derived from "Amazon concentration," not as a gift from the gods which would become part of her back story later.

Wonder Woman faced many costumed villains in these episodes, including the Turtlenecked-Karate-Chief, the Turtlenecked Stooge, and the Turtlenecked-Motorcyclist. As Wonder Woman is nothing if not fair, she would give herself a handicap so as to make the villains feel better about their abilities, the first step in Wonder Woman's Villain-Transformation technique. For instance, she would often ride a motorcycle to chase her adversaries, when she was clearly faster on foot; or she would often take a refreshing dip in a pool before swimming after a villain making a getaway in a boat. Sometimes she would simply stop chasing a foe altogether, a crucial step in the process of augmenting the villain's feeling of self-worth.

A surprising constabulary of talent, all dedicated to porkifying Wonder Woman into a voracious ham beast, complete with folds of cellulite and mammaries bursting with lactated butter. Contains over a year’s worth of updates. The most inexplicable blog I’ve come across in a while.

William Marston died of skin cancer in 1947, leaving Elizabeth (with help from a profitable Wonder Woman) to support the family. And an unusual family it was, for Elizabeth bucked convention in the domestic realm as well. Sometime in the late twenties, she welcomed into her home Olive Byrne, a young woman William had met while teaching at Tufts University. The three formed a ménage à trois. Elizabeth had two children: Pete and Olive Ann. Olive gave birth to Byrne and a second son, Donn; the Marstons legally adopted Olive's boys, but she remained ever a part of the family, even after William's death.
