The Essential Wonder Woman Encyclopedia: The Ultimate Guide to the Amazon Princess Paperback – April 27, 2010

An excellent book outline Wonder Woman’s existence.

That says it all.I love Wonder Woman. I love her even with the weirdness fully in place that came from creator.It would have been nice if these writers would have been willing to address these ideas.Mostly I don't like how this enclclopedia comes out right before a huge change in direction for my Amazon. I think it would have been neat to give buyers something about it.But still, for the WW completist this is a welcome addition.

Around the 1st of Dec 2010 I purchased this book for a close friend who is a Wonder Woman freak. He went insane when I sent it to him, has mentioned it everytime I have seen him since and seems not to be able to thank me enough. What more can I say? I was lucky enough to have found, like, the one hardcopy in the Universe. Best money I spent all Christmas!

Thank you for the book, it was in good condition and was what I was looking for...thank you again.

This was a big hit with my grand-daughter - great photos, information, and empowerment to all!

I love the book, it is thick, but it's good. My mom is a Wonder Woman fan so I bought her this book, it's mostly for her birthday party so we can use it for trivia games.

I LOVE THIS!

Must have for any Wonder Woman fan.

Everything you wanted to know about the comic character and her many incarnations, lavishly illustrated.

Now my love of superhero comics is terribly limited; I'm a jaded old cynic who immediately starts tearing chunks out character's backstories, motivations and actions like a particularly hungry and grouchy bear. For these very reasons I have very limited patience with The Bat and Supes. On the other hand, I've always liked Wonder Woman. Wondie may well have gone in some strange directions over the years, and gone through some pretty radical transformations in comparison to other big-league characters, but I've always been drawn to the promise of a different kind of heroism on the page she sometimes represents.While some of the directions she's travelled in have been a bit questionable to me, I've stuck by Wondie. What this book represents is that whole journey encapsulated in the form of an encyclopedia; an A to Z of all Wonder Woman's most relevant elements since her birth in 1941 right up to the present day. Every villain is here, every ally, every friend, family-member, loved one, place called home, piece of equipment... you name it. If you want to know about Wonder Woman, it's all in here. Considering the sheer volume of material, it shouldn't come as too much of a shock that this book is huge and hefty, well illustrated and is immaculately presented as a focal point for collectors and enthusiasts alike.I should add that this book doesn't cover the various people that have worked on Wondie over the years. There's nothing on her writers, artists, or anything on her Bowie-like changing with the times and the workings behind it. This is an encyclopedia of the elements of the character's fictional world. Nor is there anything regarding the various other versions of the character, such as the classic Linda Carter television series or any of Wonder Woman's animated appearances. Anyone wanting to know about the deep history of William Moulton Marston and the unusual backdrop that led to Wonder Woman's creation might well be a little disappointed with this book. On the other hand, someone wanting to compliment their collection, or just learn more about Wondie's character universe, will probably find this book a beguiling way to spend a few hours. If you're a fan of the Lady with the Lasso, this book is a must-have addition to your collection.

Excellent livre sur wonder woman!
