The Legend of Wonder Woman is an American comic book limited series of the superhero fantasy genre, featuring the character of Wonder Woman. It was published by DC Comics and ran for four issues from May until August, 1986. The series was written by Kurt Busiek & plotted by Busiek and Trina Robbins. Robbins also rendered the pencil work, inking and cover art illustrations to the title. It was colored by Nansi Hoolahan and lettered by Lois Buhalis. The series was edited by Alan Gold.

In the aftermath of a universe-shattering crisis, an inanimate clay figure is all that remains of Wonder Woman, champion and defender of Paradise Island... until Queen Hippolyta uses a magic sphere to revisit the past and remind the Amazons of the bravery and fortitude of their fallen princess.

When Atomia, the mercurial ruler of a subatomic galaxy, suddenly attacks Washington, D.C. and kidnaps Steve Trevor, Diana must pursue this would-be conqueror around the world to free her prisoners from their deadly bondage - all while looking after Etta Candy's headstrong young cousin, Suzie.

But Diana's rescue plan falters when she is betrayed in the Land of Mirrors and delivered in chains to Atomia. How can Wonder Woman manage to save the captives and stop Suzie from joining the atomic queen when she doesn't know friend from foe? And even more important: Will reopening these memories restore Princess Diana to her people?

Notes & Trivia

The character of Wonder Woman was created by writer William Moulton Marston and artist Harry G. Peter. She first appeared in a back-up feature in All-Star Comics #8 in January 1942 titled "Introducing Wonder Woman". The character then went on to headline two ongoing titles, Wonder Woman and Sensation Comics and has appeared consistently ever since.
The series serves as a tribute to the Golden Age Wonder Woman. This is the last Pre-Crisis Wonder Woman story.
