Summary: "You Don't Know Whats Proper, Now Put on Y'r Chain!"
Comment: "Wonder Woman: Amazonia" is an interesting and complex (albeit a somewhat convoluted) tale set in an imaginary Victorian-era England where proper ladies wear chains and the British army employs powerful, flying vessels to wage war. In "Amazonia," William Messner-Loebs explores Victorian cultural ideologies about patriarchy, colonialism, imperialism and gender roles. Drawing on William Moulton Marston's original Wonder Woman stories, Messner-Loeb's has crafted a feminist tale this is an homage to the original and features familiar characters such as Etta Candy and Steve Trevor. This graphic novel is published in a slightly oversized edition (8" x 11") to accommodate Phil Winslade's atmospheric drawings which recall wood engravings and are beautifully embellished by Patricia Mulvhill's subtle use of color. Read this story and find out why the word "amazonia" was "whispered from woman to woman and never without a shiver."
Rating: 5
Summary: A pleasant surprise.
Comment: I thought that this book wouldn't be that great, but the story is really gripping. It takes place in London around the time of Tarzan and has a lot of interesting parallels. This Wonder Woman is submissive until the end. The art is pretty good, though Phi used too many black lines on the faces. It was also sad to see Steve Trevor, the noble character of the comics, turn out to be a most heinous villain.
