Wonder Woman: Earth One Vol. 1 by Grant Morrison
A #1 NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller! From the masterful minds of Grant Morrison (FINAL CRISIS, THE MULTIVERSITY) and Yanick Paquette (SWAMP THING, BATMAN, INC.) comes the most provocative origin of Wonder Woman you've ever seen--a wholly unique retelling that still honors her origins. For millennia, the Amazons of Paradise Island have created a thriving society away from the blight of man. One resident, however, is not satisfied with this secluded life--Diana, Princess of the Amazons, knows there is more in this world and wants to explore, only to be frustrated by her protective mother, Hippolyta. Diana finds her escape when Air Force pilot Steve Trevor, the first man she has ever seen, crashes onto their shores. With his life hanging in the balance, Diana ventures into the long forbidden world of men. The Amazons chase after her and bring her back to Paradise Island in chains to face trial for breaking their oldest law--staying separated from the world that wronged them.
"Both novices and the initiated will find great fun in thisflawlessly streamlined remolding, and, in his inimitable style, Morrison offers a fiercer, stranger, moreepic, more textured, and, incidentally, more diverse interpretationVisualized in Paquette’s gleaming,dynamic, lush, and luscious imagery, this is the most complex, powerful, and confidently sexy WonderWoman on record."
