Ross Andru is the main penciller on this book?!?! Daaaaaaaangit. He’s my 2nd favorite Spidey artist (after Ditko)….. damn. Now I have another DC silver age omnibus to get. Haha

[@OmnidogsVault]

Andru AND Esposito! They took over Flash after Infantino left and their art had evolved by that time. I didn't really catch on that they did this book initially!

[@jmen4ever257]

didnt know about this book, might get a copy.

I hate when a book has a table of contents but no page numbers. On the one hand, I like having the full list of issues in the front of the book, but on the other, you've defeated half the purpose of having a ToC without page numbers. Glad to see this book has all the proper accessories to make it not just a fun story but a solid book-as-object piece. Really digging the new design for the Silver Age series, though the previous one was still good.

[@OmnidogsVault]

yeah DC seems to finally be committed to doing these books perfectly!

[@bat_manda]

Thanks for making this video! It’s cool to learn more about early Wonder Woman. 😁

[@OmnidogsVault]

thanks for watching Batmanda!!

Love the omnibus reviews! That is some great art. Keep up the good work.

[@OmnidogsVault]

Thank you John!! I will keep doing these!

[@ComicsCompanion]

[@OmnidogsVault]

Thank you Comics! I am so happy you and others like these!

I was curious about this collection, the art is nice, Ross Andru is one of the artists who had a good run on WW and returned for the giant sized issue 300. Liking the interior design at the beginning, the intro pages in grey with red stripe and blue circle and WW logo, continuity with the old golden age books, pretty cool, as is the new silver age design on the dust sleeve. Enjoyed your overview, definately a book I'd like, bonus for me .. Wonder Girl.

[@OmnidogsVault]

I had forgotten that Wonder Girl started this early!

[@daniele7rise329]

In silver age make she be very old 😮Shortly after the birth of Diana, daughter of Queen Hippolyta, Paradise Island is visited by Aphrodite the Goddess of Love, who comes to wish the young Diana well, and tells the infant girl that she will grow to be the fairest maid in all the land. The baby would be visited also by Athena, who would give her wisdom, Mercury who would be amazed at the tot's speed, as well as Hercules who is impressed by the girl's strength. Time passes, and eventually conflict would claim the lives of all the men of Amazonia and the women would be in utter woe. Seeking to escape the conflict of the mainland, Queen Hippolyta would rally the rest of the Amazons and announce that they would be leaving, to escape the wars and find peace on an island far, far away. That night, the queen would be startled to find that Diana had gone missing in the night, and when they would go out to search for her they would be surprised to see the teenaged girl building a ship for them at super speed. Impressed by this display, her fellow Amazonians would begin calling her Wonder Girl. As they set sail into the vast oceans, Wonder Girl would use her superior strength to help the ship make it past a whirlpool. as well as save the ship from burning. Eventually they would pass through a strange fog of sleeping gas. While most of the Amazonians would be knocked out by the gas, Wonder Girl would resist its caustic vapors and push onward, sailing them to safety. They would soon pilot out of the gasses and Wonder Girl would spot an island. As the others revive, they would go to shore where they would be visited by Athena. Athena would tell the women gathered that this island, dubbed Paradise Island, would be their new home, and that as long as they stayed there they would retain eternal youth under the condition that nobody leave the island. Over the years, young Diana would help her fellow Amazons build a new home, and spend her time exercising, having fun, and riding the Rocs, which were giant birds, native to the island, and also mastering all forms of science and languages. One day while out swimming with her fellow Amazons, Wonder Girl and the others would be terrorized by a giant whale. Wonder Girl would use her superior strength to send the whale packing, saving her friends. The entire exploit would be photographed and be the first record of the illustrious career of the girl who would eventually grow up to be Wonder Woman.

Thanks for the great look at this book!

[@OmnidogsVault]

Thanks for watching!!

[@cagegrant7507]

thanks omniDude worth buying wonderwoman 😁👍

[@Danny-nm9sn]

I thought it might be fun to sneak back and get the back issue that had that cover. #99. Would you believe a poor copy of that 0.5 is selling for $99 or make best offer on ebay? Just that one issue! I can see why people get these books 😊

[@OmnidogsVault]

very cool!!!

[@JB-ou6fl]

I love the cover to WW #99. I'm glad that they used it for this omnibus.

[@moxie96]

I have the previous books printed in black and white and been getting the non omnibus versions of the golden Era books (anybody know which was the last one from that collection? I just located volume3) how much further in pages do these omnibus books go than the original black and white copies I have which is 4 volumes? The black and white are about 500+ pages in most of those volumes.

[@Danny-nm9sn]

I checked out a library copy of this. The stories are fun and frothy. I did feel the art was inconsistent - one panel Andru and Esposito drew amazing and great, the next things looked wrong a lot 😟

[@axelplate9080]

When was this originally published? sixties or maybe seventies?

[@davidgraham8299]

1958 thru 1961. Jess says it in the video.

[@OmnidogsVault]

@@davidgraham8299 yes, thank you! AKA: OmniDog The Birth Years lol

[@daniele7rise329]

How old is Diana prince in golden age ? Centuries ?

[@OmnidogsVault]

I’m getting vol 1 of WW GA to overview next week so I can answer that better next week. But my understanding of WW is she was conceived/created in modern times. She doesn’t age as humans do but the Amazons are centuries old. So she’s a young pup of an Amazon with a lot of time ahead of her. I’ll give you a firm answer next week!

[@daniele7rise329]

Thank you

[@ReaperXC]

No point having page numbers in the contents if there aren't any NUMBERS ON THE PAGES!

[@OmnidogsVault]

there are page numbers in this though. Or are you kidding?

[@davidgraham8299]

Did you watch the video? Jess SAID there are numbers on the pages.

[@OmnidogsVault]

@@davidgraham8299 in his defense, they are pretty tiny looking in this video lol
