By Mel Dyer This cover really makes me miss the imaginative world-build that artist Cliff Chiang's and 100 Bullets writer Brian Azzarello's run brought to the  Wonder Woman  comic. It was a landmark run, and on the skyline of the comic's greatest creative periods, it stands out, ..with decidedly quirky distinction. Looking back on the comic's 80th anniversary, it was memorable.

Diana is the daughter of a liberated nation of classical Amazons, mythical freedom-fighters, for whom love and freedom are literally a religion, ..and her archenemy should reflect that. Conceivably, Diana, who fought Nazis in World War II, should have a tyrant in her rogues gallery, who r...
