I picked this up awhile ago because I wanted to see how good the old school Wonder Woman would be in the graphic novel. The stories were good. Some of the graphics were really good and some were just okay. Some of them looked just liked Linda Carter and that was awesome! I will leave you with a few pics in the book!

Following the success of the Jeff Parker-helmed Batman ‘66 comics based on the iconic Adam West TV show, this is the comics version of the 1970s Lynda Carter Wonder Woman series, Wonder Woman ‘77 - though unfortunately it’s nowhere near as good as Batman ‘66. While the show started in 1975, it began as a 1940s period piece with Wonder Woman fighting Nazis in WW2. 1977 is when the series was updated to a contemporary setting which is where this comic takes its cue. Diana and Steve Trevor are also...
Bullet Review:Completely and utterly cheestastic - and I loved the hell out of it. About the only one I didn't care for was the last one where Wonder Woman faces off with a domestic abuser and his victim, which felt hasty and rushed. Otherwise, no, this isn't the most complex, gritty, deep comic, but I laughed and enjoyed myself to bits.
I bought a Spanish language edition of this graphic novel at the bus station in Mexico City the day I left for Arizona. I used to watch the show way back in the day, so I enjoyed this book a lot. The print was easy to see and the pictures were lovely.Five stories full of color, action, laughs and danger faced down in classic style by everyone's favorite Amazon!I especially enjoyed "Quien Es Wonder Woman" and "La Felina Esta De Regreso", the second and third stories in the book.I'm glad I noticed...
Stories set in the world of the 70's Wonder Woman show. The art is great but the stories are written earnestly and straight forwardly. They just come out flat and boring. Andreyko does at least bring in villains from the comics so Wonder Woman isn't fighting a bunch of generic villains like she did in the show.
67th book read in 2016.Number 6 out of 561 on my all time book list.Review Pending:
Back in the 1970s, live-action television series with a woman in the lead were rare creatures indeed, and one of the best was Wonder Woman, starring Lynda Carter. It migrated from ABC (where it was set during World War Two) to CBS in 1977, and it is this “modern day” series that this comic book series is based on.In this version, Wonder Woman works for the Inter-Agency Defense Command in her secret identity of Diana Prince, along Steve Trevor, Jr. Steve may or may not know that Diana is also Won...
A collection of self-contained Wonder Woman tales set in 1977 in the continuity of the TV show with the main characters depicted as Lynda Carter and Lyle Waggoner. Why not? It's silly fun; I'm sure William Moulton Marston would've enjoyed tuning in.
This was made with everything that's good in life. Loved it
Awesome. That about sums it up.
As someone who has never seen Lynda Carter’s television rendition of Wonder Woman, I was interested to see how this would compare to a regular WW series. It was exactly what I expected! Light, simple, and EXTRA cheesy! With each story playing out like a television show from the 70s, this book kept me entertained with the silly disco villains, vintage clothing and corny one-liners. Many different artists do work in this volume, so art quality hovers around good to amazing. None of these stories a...
Excellent job recreating the feel of one of my favorite shows as a kid. Very well done. Recommended
Everything that was fun and great in the original television series is brought back in this collection of short stories. It's a must read for fans of both Wonder Woman and the television show.
Definitely NOT the target audience for this one, but I enjoyed it for what it was meant to be -- pure campy, nostalgic fun. It does leave me wondering why the Wonder Woman tv show isn't getting an animated film version as Batman's tv show recently did (sequel coming soon actually), with as much original cast as they can muster. I guess DC us too sexist to consider it (or too dumb). Too bad, they'd make a mint.
Over the past few years, I've had a blast watching the first two seasons of the old-school Wonder Woman television show featuring Lynda Carter as the title superheroine. I also really enjoyed the Batman '66 throwback comics; I devoured the entire series in a few days. So, you'd probably expect this to be right up my alley.Well, it was...to a degree. The artwork and storylines did a great job of taking me back to the time when the original series was made. However, the sultriness was over the top...
If you love Batman '66, then this is the series for you! A loving homage to the campy '70's TV Wonder Woman, just in time for her new movie. I really like Wonder Woman as a character, and this version of her is great - idealistic, innocent yet savvy, fun, strong and gorgeous. Check it out!Similar titles:Batman '66
AMAZING comic to read, just to chill and have fun!
I entered into this with great reluctance. I haven't always been too seriously interested in 70's pop culture and I wasn't too terribly keen on the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman TV program when it was on syndicated television when I was young. However, there is so much heart in both the writing and the artwork that I couldn't help but fall in love with this series. Each self-contained story is about 20 pages and feels like a television episode. I enjoyed the interpretations the comic had with Wonder...
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. They captured all the best of the series and the art was actually very good. Too good when I was forced to picture Lyle Waggoner's hairy chest peeking out of a silk shirt and leisure suit. Not only did they heart of the TV series, but then they fit in comic villains and even gave us a glimpse of TV's other Wonder Woman.
This truly was Wonderful ! ❤️I'm a huge fan of Wonder Woman , especially the original tv show . Everything was on point , Steve and Diana are true to the tv show in both the artists renderings and the dialogue . It saddens me that there are only two volumes in this series . I definitely recommend this to anyone who's a fan of the OG .My only complaints were that the villians were somewhat lackluster . Secondly that they ignored the first couple of seasons , set during WWll , which in my opinion
