By Edgar Miraculous Dyer Little girls have a lot of incentive to identify with superheroic men... Batgirl, Supergirl, Huntress, Hawkgirl, She-Hulk, ..while boys have very little encouragement, identifying with Wonder Woman. Well, it wasn't always that way. Wonder Woman with blingy, Trekxy ride-or-die, Andros of Arcturus (New Adventures Of Wonder Woman, CBS Television) The New Adventures Of Wonder Woman TV show gave us (then) boys, an Andros of Arcturus to imagine ourselves, as! He wasn't as physical or the hardcase that Jack Kirby's cosmic enforcer,  Orion, was, but had some pretty awesome zapping powers and a nifty silver, Star Treky outfit, ..and we thought it was very cool, that he was from outer space, wa-aay back in the Star Wars heyday of 1977. As I recall, the first Andros - General Andros - to join Diana's adventures was father of a second Andros. Andros 2.0 was portrayed, by a much younger and studlier Dack Rambo  - at the time, a young actor, who

By Edgar Miraculous Dyer I am too long, from Mars. I want to go  back. I love George Perez, as an artist and a comic book legend, ..but, his post-Crisis, Diet Vader,  Ares,  just isn't doing it, for me, anymore, as a Number One Badguy (one of three) for Wonder Woman.

His cosmic agents, his  'Court'  of War -  Duke of Deception, Earl of Greed, Lord Conquest  and  General Destruction  - were little more, than armored buffoons, back then, and were never particularly awesome or terrifying, ..but, they were every bit, as ugly and weird, as the  Joker.  They existed in a fiery, steampunky world - an industrial hell, like Jack Kirby's Apokolips - blackened by t

What would the lost, unfinished series bible for a new Wonder Woman show look like? TITLE: IMMORTAL WONDER WOMAN (SERIES BIBLE) [COMPLETE] By Edgar Miraculous Dyer Introduction: This series, using some characters inspired by 'Wonder Woman' comics in 2020-2022 and the award-winning New 52, returns the Immortal Amazon to her original genre roots, as fantasy/paranormal adventurer, ..like TV's Higlander or Lara Croft (Tomb Raider). Think Xena: Warrior Princess and Highlander: The Series had a superhero baby, ..with the friendship between Xena and farmgirl, Gabrielle, at the center of the story - except Gabrielle is fat and black, and there's budding romance, with Col. Steve, ..on the side. Structure and Tone: Episodes will run, as three-act teleplays, introducing an existential threat to the human world ..AND a comedic or dramatic situation, between Diana, Etta and supporting characters (Steve, Mala, Siggy, etc). Most episodes are linear, but, stories can also use POV, mock
