Many Wonder Womans to benefit women's shelter
Tavie sez, "In honor of an event called 'Wonder Woman Day,' this website shows a gallery of depictions of Wonder Woman by a host of different artists. I dunno from Wonder Woman, really - I never watched the show or read the comic, and the sum total of my connection to that character is a hazy memory of some Wonder Woman underoos I was fond of as a tot. I clicked the link from Elfquest.com, since Wendy Pini contributed a piece for the silent auction (it benefits domestic violence shelters) and, I gots to say, there's something sort of awesome about seeing so many different takes on the same character." GREAT HERA! WONDER WOMAN DAY III (Thanks, Tavie!)

Great that Wonder Woman art would support the awareness of Domestic Violence.
For those that don't know, Wonder Woman is the princess of Paradise Island. The population of Paradise Island were (at one point, you know how comics are) Amazons, who were women who had died "at the hands of men" (basically they'd been killed by lovers, husbands, etc) and were reincarnated by the Five Goddesses to live a peaceful life amongst others like them.
Another great version of WW is the one Stan Lee recreated for the 'Just Imagine...' series of books.

In the history of comic book characters Wonder Woman's creation - by a psychologist - is one of the most unique and interesting ever. Here's the quick Wikipedia take:

Maybe she can get a little more props next time you're browsing at Secret Headquarters, Cory!

Re: post #1
Why would Stan Lee (of Marvel Comics) do a book about a DC Comics character?
Uh... isn't the plural of 'woman', 'women', not 'womans'? :)
And now, for something completely different: BBWW.
#4: because he likes the character?
It's "Wonders Woman," like "attorneys general" and "underwears pervert."
#4-
In the 1990s, his contract with Marvel was made non-exclusive. He started to do some work for DC in early 2000... and does pretty much whatever else he darn wants ;)
#4 -
He did an entire series of comics, doing his own version of all of DC's major characters.
Superman was "the weakest member" of the Kryptonian police force. Batman is a professional wrestler. Robin is a villain, set on killing Batman. Aquaman has the ability to change his entire body into water. Wonder Woman was an archeologist that got her powers from translating a stone tablet.

Too bad there's no piece by Emy Calucin!
She is a developmentally disabled artist who paints superheroes and movie stars: for six months, she painted nothing but different versions of Wonder Woman. I have a postcard of one of her Wonder Womans on my mirror.
