Wonder Woman Archives Vol. 7 (Archive Editions)
A noted psychologist and the man who perfected the testing system for the lie detector, William Moulton Marston was hired in 1941 as an advisor to All American Comics publisher M.C. Gaines after he wrote an article praising the educational potential of comic books in the magazine The Family Circle. But when Marston suggested a new character to his employer, he met with skepticism. Gaines finally gave Wonder Woman a chance. In December 1941, Wonder Woman's first adventure appeared in ALL STAR COMICS #8, written by Marston under the pen name Charles Moulton. Marston wrote nearly all the Wonder Woman comic book stories and the syndicated strip until his death in 1947, one week shy of his 54th birthday.
