Product Description
The late 1960s saw a new direction for Wonder Woman. Forced to choose between returning to her Amazon sisters or continuing her mission in "Man's World," Wonder Woman surrenders her super- powers and gives up her star-spangled costume. Dressed in the mod fashions of the day, the new Wonder Woman took on a Chinese mentor known as I Ching, who trained her in martial arts as her adventures took her to exotic locals to fight undercover agents and mythological villains. In this volume, featuring stories that have never been collected before, Wonder Woman faces Mars, god of war, the murderous Dr. Cyber, and an all-female biker gang known only as Them, as well as a modern-day witch called Morgana.

 These were among my favorite stories as a kid... September 23, 2008
WW gave up her powers and travelled the globe with a sightless elder named I-Ching. These are the tales that introduced Dr. Cyber (the one where she kidnaps people in order to find an new face still gives me chills).My mother threw out most of these in a move;I have not been able to replace many of them and have never forgiven her their loss;but now I can buy this handy collection(and vol 2, as well)and the healing can begin!
A fantastic adventurous treat August 15, 2008
This is the 70s at its best. Without spoiling the story... Diana is truly Diana in this story and not Wonder Woman. She works her tail off to do what is right. She feels emotions and ups and downs... She is altogether, human. The artwork and coloring is detailed, crisp and compelling. A hearty solid read for any heroic myth fan.
Great book!
Groovy Masterpiece! April 13, 2008

The cover image says it all. This may not be the Wonder Woman you know, but Diana Prince is still something very special. Even without superpowers, this Amazon is hardly helpless. The great late '60s reprints contained in this book are a wonderful time capsule of the psychodelic era. Denny O'Neil and Mike Sekowsky's spy-fueled stories perfectly match the full color glory that is Sekowsky and Dick Giordano immaculate art. If you are a fan of Steranko's brief but wild Marvel work, please do yourself a favor and pick up this fantastic reprint collection. Diana Prince could easily give Steranko's Nick Fury a run for his money and maybe even make him forget that bodacious vixen, Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine! O'Neil and Sekowsky's rebooting of Wonder Woman as a kung fu dynamo in skin tight Emma Peel jumpsuits is as visually exciting as her new espionage adventures are fun. Wonder Woman has rarily looked as sexy and stylish as she does in these groovy reprints. Highly recommended! Volume 2 can't come out fast enough for me!
 What a dissapointment! April 8, 2008

I belong to the generation of the original Wonder Woman TV Series and basically I am a big fan of it. That's why I found this "graphic novel" so disapointing not only on the retro,colorfull design but also on the history itself. This Diana Prince has little or nothing to do with the original one regarding her attitud, selfcontempt and power. The original one would never had to give up her powers; that would mean a refusal to recognize herself as a true Amazon which, in fact, was never in discussion.
EXCELLENT March 23, 2008

Reprints issues #178-184 in full color. This is 1970's style Wonder Woman, so if you like the 70's style of art, fashions, etc., you will enjoy this a lot. Can't wait for volume 2.
