janedoelish 's review for:
Wonder Woman: The Golden Age Vol. 1
by William Moulton Marston, Various
Comics have come a long way since the "Golden Age", and it is kind of difficult to enjoy this collection without any kind of context or background knowledge - at least if you are above the age of ten years and aren't a camp affocionado. These were simpler times, with vastly different values and outlooks ("haha, the fat girl wants more candy!").
However, there is another, fascinating aspect to this. Wonder Woman was intended to be didactic, and her creator was a polyamorous BDSM practitioner who believed in women's rights and celebrated strong women. With this in mind, the silly 1940s strips reveal their true potential, their subversive quality.
