| In the early
days of the 20th century, in a harsh society that strips women of their
sense of worth, Diana has hidden strengths that no man can ever touch —
and more secrets than she herself can imagine. The Princess of Themyscira
may inspire a nation to break its chains of oppression, but only if she
can first learn the truth about her heritage. |

| Utilizing an
innovative design, this oversized graphic novel beautifully showcases the
stunning artwork of Phil Winslade (NEVADA, GODDESS).
"Wonder Woman: Amazonia"
is an interesting and complex (albeit a somewhat convoluted) tale set in
an imaginary Victorian-era England where proper ladies wear chains and
the British army employs powerful, flying vessels to wage war. In "Amazonia,"
William Messner-Loebs explores Victorian cultural ideologies about patriarchy,
colonialism, imperialism and gender roles. Drawing on William Moulton Marston's
original Wonder Woman stories, Messner-Loeb's has crafted a feminist tale
this is an homage to the original and features familiar characters such
as Etta Candy and Steve Trevor.
This graphic novel is published
in a slightly oversized edition (8" x 11") to accommodate Phil Winslade's
atmospheric drawings which recall wood engravings and are beautifully embellished
by Patricia Mulvhill's subtle use of color. Read this story and find out
why the word "amazonia" was "whispered from woman to woman and never without
a shiver." |
