Summary: Beautiful collectible for devoted Wonder Woman fans
Review: (Please note that this review is for the "Wonder Woman Masterpiece Edition", though my comments may also appear under the Amazon listing for Daniels' "WW Complete History Book". Though the M.E. set and the History book share some content, they are separate items, both available here at Amazon. Sorry about any confusion.)This collector's set is arguably the nicest product released during Wonder Woman's 60th anniversary, and has been issued in two different editions: the Deluxe edition (the one Amazon offers) and a standard edition. The Deluxe version includes the following: a hardcover book entitled, "Wonder Woman: The Golden Age", a glossy reprint of WW #1 (in it's own slip holder), an 8.5 inch tall WW figure in Golden Age garb, and a folding display case (or binder) with velcro fasteners. The hardcover book (by Les Daniels) is an abbreviated version of "WW: The Complete History"; it excludes approx 100 pages of illustrations and reprinted story panels. "Golden Age" includes the basic text from Daniel's earlier book but features a different dustjacket WW reprint image, and a different Alex Ross illustration on the back of the hardcover. The WW #1 reprint is on heavy, glossy paper stock, and includes all the original content from issue one. The WW figure included is a plastic (upper body) and rubber (lower body) composite, and includes a cloth skirt (not removeable) and golden lasso made from stretchy material. (Note that the doll in Amazon's illustration is missing the skirt, which was either cut off or left off in pre-sales production.) The figure has limited articulation: the arms rotate at the shoulders, the legs can be moved (impeded by a plastic "bustle" that fluffs up the skirt) and the knees can be bent (at preset intervals) to help stand the doll. The head can be moved slightly from side to side. It all comes in a handsome blue "binder" that can be stored on a (deep) bookshelf or left open for display. Though this is an excellent package well-worth the money, fans may opt for the less expensive "standard" edition which omits the WW #1 reprint and binder/display case. Both sets include the "Golden Age" hardcover and 8.5" poseable figure. Highly recommended to WW memorabilia collectors.

Summary: This Book is a Wonder!
Review: An absolute must-have for any fan of Wonder Woman. Everything about the amazin' amazon, from the comic book to Ms. Magazine to the Super Friends cartoon to the 1960s and 1970s tv show (yes, I said 1960s!), is covered. And the photos of her memorabilia are priceless. You'll even find some reprints of Wonder Woman stories from her various eras (Golden Age, Silver Age, Perez). And there's even a preview of the Alex Ross-painted Wonder Woman project debuting late next year. I do wish there were more of Brian Bolland's subversive covers (as well as current cover artist Adam Hughes's) and, of course, more pics of Lynda Carter presented, but those are just minor quibbles. Les Daniel's text is well-written and well-researched, and I guarantee you'll find at least one nugget of information that's surprising (not only about creator Marston's unique life, but also the section covering Robert Kahniger's tenure as writer and some surprising revelations from later legendary editor Denny O'Neill). And Chip Kidd's layout is wonder-ful (very reminiscent of his work on the excellent Batman Animated book). This book would make the ultimate holiday gift for any fan of the character, but to be honest, I'd hate to make a true fan wait that long to savor it. This book will have them *ahem* spinning! Now, if only some record company would release a soundtrack for the tv series!

Summary: A Must for the Wonder Woman Fan
Review: Any question you've had about the amazing Amazon Princess will be answered here. You can learn about her origins, and how she has evolved over the years, always keeping in touch with each particular generation (i.e., the difference between WW in the 60's and today). The book is up-to-date, bringing the reader to the very latest story line. It truly covers all aspects of the heroine's life, including the TV series and all the many wonderful products related to her. It is also visually stunning, full of rich, vibrant images. Even if you never get to read the text, the pictures alone are worth the purchase.

Summary: Fun book but a couple mistakes...
Review: First off, loved the book. It was nice to read the comments from Lynda Carter and see the multitude of changes that WW has gone through. But I did notice two things, the actress that played Wonder Woman's mother in that tiny demo in the 60's was named Maudie Pricket and the photo of Ms. Carter's costume says it is from the first season and it's not, it's from the CBS years as are the bracelets and tiara on the following page. I know Ms. Carter preferred the CBS years updated costume but the original on worn while fighting Nazis in the more humorous years will always be my absolute favorite! Thanx...

Summary: Wow! What a wonderful book!
Review: I loved the two previous "Complete History" books byLes Daniels on Superman and Batman, but his book on Wonder Woman iseven more amazing. Maybe it's because she isn't as over-exposed asthose other two superheroes, but there are surprises galore in thishandsome book. The still-gorgeous Lynda Carter contributes a lovelyintroduction, and just wait until you read the story of WilliamMarston, Wonder Woman's unconventional creator. And the stunningdesign by Chip Kidd showcases totally awesome toys, original art andeven photos from a 1960s TV show pilot I didn't know existed. And weeven get to see the legendary never-seen "Star Riders"toys. Well, I could just go on and on. This is my favorite book ofthe year, and any fan of Wonder Woman (or Lynda Carter) will just haveto have it!
