  Zephyr the Wonder Dog should have a place in the Wonderverse and her own little doggy bracelets. ( This is a free-use photomanip. 2021 Mel Dyer) As a teenage Amazon princess, Wonder Woman was joined on her phantasmagorical adventures, by  Zephyrus,  a falcon companion of her mentress, the blind Amazon warrior,  Osia?  [ Wonder Woman Vol 5, #750 ] She's had a few, over the years. Unfortunately, it appears her last, faithful raptor perished, when Wonder Woman's universe blew up, recently, leaving her without an animal companion...   To kick tail , with.   So we've named The Super Friends cartoon's previously nameless Wonder Dog, Zephyr, ..after the Amazon's fallen, heroic eagle. She still needs a home in the DC Universe, though, ..flea to flea, with Batman's Ace the Bathound and Superman's Krypto the Superdog! Maybe, there's a whole mountain of purple Rottweilers, on the Amazon Island, just waiting to be written about, ..if we rally our fellow fa...

By Edgar Miraculous Dyer Mala was one of the most important Amazons, in the Golden Age Forties adventures of Wonder Woman. She was with Diana, when they discovered Col. Steve Trevor floating in the seas, around their isle of Amazons, and she was the last Amazon standing, when a masked Diana won the Tournament of Wonder to determine which Amazon would venture into Man's World, as their champion, .. Wonder Woman . Tirelessly optimistic, Mala became the warden of Reform Island, where she rehabilitated murderesses, madwomen and Nazis. Mala, the SCIENTIST and technician, worked alongside, reformed Nazi, Paula Von Gunter, to perfect telepathic controls in Diana's Invisible Jet - even had her own hi-tech Swan Plane, which, while not as fast, as Wonder Woman's I-Jet, ..was fast enough to get her to Man's World, every once in a while. And flipping 'the eagle' to Amazon fashion trends, while most of her sisters wore demure, droll toga-thingies, blond Mala typically r...

Wonda-Myths Mythical son of Amazon Queen Antiope, VIRBIUS REX, first appeared, as infant 'Prince  Hippolytus' , in  Wonder Woman,  Volume Two, Issue #33 (1989). He is king of Nemi, a hero in the classical Amazon myth...the one we learn in college? He has a GREAT backstory, that shows him married to a hot, forest elemental and fighting in the Trojan War! He is the king of a cool, enchanted forest, full of wild spirits and magic beasts - basically, the AQUAMAN of the woods - a-aand ..h e's Wonder Woman's built-in, super-warrior cousin... So, why have we never seen this badass, real-life mythological hero, in action? Where is he (the action figure, comic book, plastic  Ben Cooper  Halloween costume, Justice League membership, etc)? When is DC Comics going to put him, BACK in the Wonder-comics? Is it because he's a dude? Is it because he's married? Wonder Woman has a Wonder-man cousin--myth ..or not-myth?  NOT a myth! Here's Leandro Lorkalt's  Wond...

By Edgar Miraculous Dyer Mala is Wonder Woman’s first, bestest Amazon girlfriend. Having been with the Amazing Amazon, since the World War II era comics, Mala understands things about the leading lady and where she comes from, that almost no one else could. Think of Mala, as a totable Paradise Island...Themyscira-in-a-bag. Including her in the regular cast and moving her to Man's World is a way of keeping Wonder Woman's background in the foreground, without having to constantly write visits to the Island, into a story. Keeping Diana's Amazon past, out front, subtly keeps her superheroics, in context...making sense. That's a useful thing. It’s not just about girl-power. Girlfriends for Wonder Woman have a role to play in moving a story forward, in the smoothest, least clunky fashion, possible. While I’ve found Wonder Woman’s frequent visits with Queen Hippolyta, on Paradise Island, great escapist entertainment, I also realize that's not always easy to do, in the midd...

By Edgar Miraculous Dyer I've think I've been rallying fans for a Wonder Woman  comic, with the friendship betwixt the Amazing Amazon, Etta and Mala, at the center of the on-going narrative, for the better of two decades. The Wonder Woman/Steve Trevor thing [Styana?]  is a perennially stagnant narrative speed-bump, that no longer drives a story, in an entertaining way. Moving the character-center of the comic to Wonder Woman's (Diana's)  friendship, with cowgirl everywoman, Etta Candy, and another recurring female character in the comic, like Amazon compatriot, Mala,  ..while unfolding a deepening, fluctuating attraction between Diana and Steve Trevor, in a recurring subplot, ..is one way to fix that. Could it help, ending Steve and Diana's low-stakes, paperless marriage, while moving Mala into a permanently Alfredish role, in Man's World; so that there's an important character in the comic, who keeps Diana's mythical background, out front and in play...
