More than four decades after making her debut in ALL STAR COMICS #8, the World’s Greatest Heroine was comprehensively reimagined in 1986 by legendary comics creator George Pérez — and this new incarnation of DC Comics’ fabled Amazon Princess quickly rose to unprecedented levels of popular and critical acclaim.

In collaboration with co-writer Len Wein and inker Bruce Patterson, Pérez sent on to craft Wonder Woman’s adventures for years, and his masterful stories ranged from heart-stopping battles with the Titans of myth to heart-warming interludes with Diana’s trusted network of friends.

Now, for the first time ever, these treasured tales from the 1980s are available in a single hardcover volume, featuring over 600 pages of Pérez’s unmatchable artwork and showcasing some of the most exciting moments of DC’s Modern Age!

Raised as a daughter by the Queen of the Amazons, the warrior princess called Diana is different from the rest of her countrywomen. They’ve all heard the legend of how she was formed from clay to give the childless queen the daughter she dreamed of–and they treat her like an outsider and outcast because of it. But Diana is different than everyone else, just not for the reasons everyone thinks.

It’s because she’s the daughter of Zeus.

With a new cadre of brothers and sisters as allies and enemies, Wonder Woman’s world is rocked to its core when her eldest brother, the First Born, was freed from his slumber. Her newfound family is in ruins and her friends scattered, she must turn to Orion and the New Gods of New Genesis to save herself, her newborn brother Zeke and his mother Zola from the First Born’s wrath.

Wonder Woman Comics: The Ultimate Guide

You just read a brief history of Princess Diana of Themyscira available in premium omnibus editions. This list of the best Wonder Woman comics will be updated as more omnibus editions are released.

Wonder Woman Marvel Universe does not exist, as she is one of the most beloved and iconic DC Universe Super Heroes of all time.

In case you want to start reading the best Wonder Woman comics, I highly recommend you start with the volumes I’ve noted as ‘Essential Wonder Woman’ from the modern age.

Just because these Wonder Woman comics are from the modern age does not mean you have to go back and read all four volumes from the golden age in order to understand Wonder Woman.

For example, Wonder Woman by George Perez is THE BEST starting point for gaining an understanding of Wonder Woman’s early years.

That post crisis story arc laid the foundation of Wonder Woman in the modern age.

It’s the definitive clean-slate Wonder Woman comic book run that is more character-driven with excellent artwork.

Many of these premium format editions sale out fast. Are there any you have had trouble adding to your collection?
