Wonder Woman was n’t always a fellow member of DC ’s holy trinity of superheroes . She was just another hero in the DC lineup . Sometimes she kicked ass , sometimes she watched her chum Etta Candy eat hams , and sometimes she was a powerless spy stalking Steve Trevor . But in 1972 Gloria Steinem put Wonder Woman on the natural covering of Ms. Magazine , in a flash improving the hero ’s cultural cache and kick upstairs her from also ran into one of America ’s most iconic grinder .
The launch of the Wonder Woman TV show , three days afterward in 1975 , cement Wonder Woman ’s place in the DC batting order . The show , starring Lynda Carter , also make a whole new legion of fan . Like John Petrie .
Petrie , as a young boy who knew he was unlike , obtain something exhort in Wonder Woman ’s substance of lover and leeway . ( That she could also drop squawk villains into place helped too . ) After an installment of the show , and one issue of the comic — in which Wonder Woman had only lately had her power returned to her — Petrie was hooked .
He used to live in a tiny apartment in Manhattan , but he later on moved up to the Bronx , taking his all-encompassing Wonder Woman solicitation with him . Besides portrait of Carter , Petrie ’s scram original art by some of the best artists in the business , as well as cool toy and kitsch chronicling decades of Wonder Woman ’s history , and a crazily extensive solicitation of Wonder Woman comic strip , range from books in the 40s up until the modern day , and admit an absolutely pristine copy of that iconic takings of Ms. Magazine .
Petrie ’s collection is a rarified treat , as you may see the whole story of one of comic ’s most iconic characters in a single go .
