Wonder Woman Wednesday

On this Wonder Woman Wednesday, we bring you pictures of our favorite Amazon engaging in some of the most unusual superheroic deeds she's been called on to perform.

First up, since the early 1950s, she has regularly volunteered to help clear mine fields.

She sometimes fills in for her friend Nancy down at Kadie's Bar.

She is also dedicated to confiscating illegal drugs from the kids and dealers and then destroying those drugs before they can ruin lives.

Finally, she often volunteers to clear the skeletons and zombies out of the Shades of Gray offices. You wouldn't believe the number of them that either remain behind, or who show up late and refuse to leave, whenever Peculia or Betty Boop & Bimbo stop in for a visit or a party.

It's time for a few more portraits of Wonder Woman. This time around, she been posing with her sword and shield, just so we all remember that, while she seeks to bring peace and harmony to the world, she's not adverse to stabbing or bashing those who cause strife and misery.

We're down to the last few Wednesdays before the revised postponed release date of "Wonder Woman '84", so it seemed like a good time to feature some portraits of our favorite Amazon that accentuates what comes to people's minds when they think of her.

Whether she's in (or on) her invisible plane, or corralling and riding the lighting with her magic lasso, today, Wonder Woman is taking flight!

Celebrating Wonder Woman, Part One

In December 1941, Wonder Woman made her first appearance in "Sensation Comics". Seven decades later, she remains the most iconic superheroine of them all.

Every Wednesday this month, I'm celebrating the debut of Wonder Woman with a selection of artwork by illustrators famous and not so famous.

Happy 70th birthday, Wonder Woman! You don't look a day over 25!

Picture Perfect Special: In the dark, all cats are gray...

... especially if one of them is Catwoman!

Here's a selection of illos of Batman and his oldest and most dedicated "frenemy." (Comics Trivia: On at least one of an infinite number of alternate reality Earths, were marrued after she gave up her thieving ways and he hung up the Batsuit. Their daughter grew up to be the suerpheroine, Huntress. That Bat and Cat are portrayed in the last three drawings.)

Picture Perfect Wednesday:NananananananaBATMAN!

Yesterday, it was 45 years ago that the "Batman" TV show debuted on ABC, with Adam West as Batman, Burt Ward as Robin. Yvonne Craig later joined the heroic line-up as Batgirl. Legendary iconic television performances as recurring villains were provided by Cesar Romero (as The Joker), Frank Gorshin (as The Riddler), Burgess Meredith (as The Penguin) and Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt (as Catwoman, at various points).

The new Batgirl (secretly Commissioner Gordon's daugther, Barbara) was created by DC Comics editor Julie Schwartz and artist Carmine Infantino at the request of the show's producer, William Dozier, for its third season. Dozier envisioned Batgirl in her own spin-off series, a plan that never came to be.

The failure of the spin-off series to materialize doesn't change the fact that version of Batgirl remains the coolest version. Within the next month or so, I'll be reviewing the book reprinting her comic book adventures from the 1960s and 1970s, but in the meantime, here are some recent portrayals of her.
