Millennium Edition: Sensation Comics

    (DC, 2000)
™ and ©2000 DC Comics

To celebrate the end of one millennium and the beginning of another, DC Comics published a series of Millennium Editions that reprinted significant comic books from the Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Modern Ages of Comics.

This particular one-shot offers up Sensation Comics #1 from January 1942. Wonder Woman, the first super-heroine to really hit the big-time, is the headliner, and her origin story resumes from where it left off in December 1941’s All Star Comics #8. This was the comic book that featured the first appearance of the Amazing Amazon from Paradise Island—one month before the first issue of Sensation hit the newsstands. This issue also marked the first appearances of such Golden Age second-and third-stringers as Wildcat, Mr. Terrific, the Gay Ghost, and Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. But make no mistake about it, the real star here is super-heroine supreme Wonder Woman. She would go on to earn her own title in the summer of 1942, join the Justice Society of America in All Star Comics #11 and appear regularly in Comics Cavalcade from 1942 until 1948. She headlined every issue of Sensation Comics until it converted to a mystery title with issue #107.
