Over at The Mary Sue, they shared that at DC’s “DC Digital: Download THIS!” panel it was revealed that there will be a new throwback digital series, and it’s a doozy: Wonder Woman ’77 starring none other than TV’s own Lynda Carter. As written by Marc Andreyko (“Manhunter”) with covers by art goddess Nicola Scott (“Earth 2”, amongst others, this book has some great prestige behind it and a huge blast of nostalgic love from readers in the same way Batman ’66 captured that same adoration.
From DC:
On the heels of the SENSATION COMICS FEATURING WONDER WOMAN launch will be WONDER WOMAN ’77, a new series based on the popular 1970s television show starring Lynda Carter. The series will be written by Marc Andreyko with several covers drawn by Nicola Scott. Additional artists for the project will be named in the coming weeks. WONDER WOMAN ’77 will debut digitally in December with six consecutive weekly chapters. These will be collected in two print issues to be released early in 2015. The series will then resume in the spring and appear periodically throughout the year.
Somewhere out there, Multiversity writer Brandon Burpee is fanning himself, as he once almost skipped day one of NYCC to see Carter’s one woman show on Broadway. This is very cool news, and I don’t suspect it will be the last we get today from what has been a very busy NYCC.
