Wonder Woman, 80 years’ old this year, made her debut in All Star Comics #8 on 21st October, 1941 in a back-up story meant to test her appeal at a time when female Super Heroes were rare. An instant favourite, Wonder Woman’s first lead story and cover was in Sensation Comics #1 (cover date of January 1942), and she quickly received her own series by that summer with the release of Wonder Woman #1.
Subsequent generations came to know the Amazonian Princess with indestructible Bracelets and Lasso of Truth via her hit 1970s television series. A number of Wonder Woman and DC shows are currently available in Singapore via the streaming service HBO GO.
