Set Description:

Information for this series covers issues 1-83, 750-757 as of 19 Oct 2020

******************************************************************************************************************************************

With all the covers this series has produced the most sought after covers are those by Jenny Frison.

Jenny Frison is a Harvey Award-nominated illustrator and comic book artist. She received her BFA in Illustration from Northern Illinois University and later attended the Joe Kubert School of Cartooning and Graphic Arts.
Beginning with issue #7, she has regularly provided variant covers for Wonder Woman v5, replacing Frank Cho. She also provided the cover for Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #15 and poster art for the Wonder Woman 75th Anniversary Special.
Frison cites being "really affected" by Cheetah on the Prowl as a major influence on her career: "It was illustrated by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano. It was pre-Crisis Wonder Woman and it totally doesn’t count because it was a storybook . . . not a comic. But it definitely began a lifelong love of Wonder Woman . . . which directly influenced my future career choices!" In the same 2012 interview, she stated she had a lifelong love of Wonder Woman and explained that her "dream job is just to make covers for a book with really interesting and layered characters in which I have a lot of creative freedom and control over." She counts Alphonse Mucha (and the entire art nouveau movement), Joao Ruas, James Jean, Kevin Nowlan, Adam Hughes, Brian Bolland, Amy Reeder, and Rebekah Isaacs as her artistic inspirations.


**The Holy Grail of covers to get for this series would fall to the Rebirth 1 Gold Foil Convention Edition, 2nd Printing issue. Issue has art from Jim Lee on the cover and the issue was given out to only the people that attended the DC panel at the 2016 San Diego Comic Con. The silver foil cover printing is the 1st print from SDCC as well, but easier to find.


******************************************************************************************************************************************
With the book coming out bi-monthly, several story arcs are featured as the odd numbered issues while a different story arc is featured as the even numbered issues. This was done to help the writer and artists meet a monthly deadline instead of a bimonthly deadline with DC comics.

Misc. Information on this Series:

*Issue 34:
For Wonder Woman #34, DC decided to commemorate the character’s journey thus far by celebrating this issue as Diana’s 700th adventure, disregarding the various reboots all the company’s main lines have undergone through canon changes and issue renumbering. To make this issue even more special, they’ve enlisted Terry and Rachel Dodson, to design a variant cover worthy of the Princess of Themyscira. The 700th issue falls in line with what is referred to as “legacy numbering, which takes us back to the book’s numbering before The New 52 reboot. Both Action Comics and Detective Comics reverted back to this numbering system during the rebirth launch.

*Wal-Mart released two separate packs of 3 DC comics. One Pack has issue 1 with the regular issue 1 cover but without the price on the cover. The other 3 pack is issue 1 but with the regular cover for issue 2 on it and again no price on the cover.

*In 2017 Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) produced 7 variants to give away free to collectors, with a print run of 5,000 for the 6 different titles by comic shops:

-Special Edition 1 with a white block in bottom left corner for the store stamp
