The book will contain 250 Wonder Woman covers: beginning with her inception in 1941 as created by colorful persona William Moulton Marston to a new role model for the women and girls during WWII; discussion of Wonder Woman's meteoric popularity even as compared to Superman and Batman; the creation of the Wonder Woman television show with the incomparable Lynda Carter in the title role; to the current present-day reboot of the character. Celebrated artists include Alex Ross, Jim Lee, and Brian Bolland, to name only a few. Art from the 2007 Wonder Woman All Star series created by super-popular artist Adam Hughes will also be included.
