Any affordable Wonder Woman trades reprinting the 40s?

I want to read about amazons hunting each other and making a "symbolic pie".

Is there an echo in here? :confused:

I knew about those, I was asking for affordable trades. I don't want to shell out 50$ for 6 issues.

Wonder Woman: The Greatest Stories Ever Told (http://www.dccomics.com/dcu/comics/?cm=6979) has a couple of 1940s stories in it. Otherwise, I think you're stuck with the Archives, or back issues.

I know I'll probably be crucified by someone for this, but any 1940's WW stories I ever read were absolutely awful.

I wonder if DC has Wonder Woman Chronicles book. I have Showcase Superman which collects 13 issues of Superman in Action Comics. I have no idea if stories are any good.

Wonder Woman stories from that long ago should be collected though. Probably find on some store sale. I meant wonder Woman stories in my last post. I'm not used to this board. I probably should have just edited last post. Oh well . I will remember next time.

I've got a 70s paperback that reprints a half-dozen or so WW stories, and none are what you'd call memorable--simple by-the-numbers stories. I was going to call them childish, but a lot of the early stories seem to fall into two categories: 1) Wonder Woman spends a lot of time getting tied up and 2) Wonder Woman is involved in some kind of contest on Paradise island where the Amazons spend a lot of time tying each other up. In one of the stories in the paperback, they have a "girl-roping contest."

Needless to say, there are plenty of places on the Internet where you can see examples from these stories.

Also, I really dislike HG Peters artwork on WW. It gets the job done, but I find it unappealing (gotta note, though, that I've seen other work by him in a different style that's very good. Can't find any examples on the web right now.)

I know I'll probably be crucified by someone for this, but any 1940's WW stories I ever read were absolutely awful.

I, on the other hand, consider Wonder Woman one of the Golden Age's most inspired (albeit demented) series and my second favorite version of the character after Perez/Potter. Sure, Dr. Marston's writing is peurile and obvious (not to mention openly perverse) but, dammit, his stories are fun! I'm especially fond of H. G. Peter's appropriate art, which emulates the so-called "clear line" drawing on ancient Greek pottery. And, like Martin, I'd love to see them collected in trades.

Cei-U!
I summon the personal favorite!

So do I. And I simply can't stand Etta Candy and the Holiday Girls.

I know they're kinky and loaded with not so secret sexual innuendo, but she's just such a unique character, I dig the G.A. WW. I really like H.G. Peters art too.
