The idea behind Black Label was to create a new place for the biggest creators in comics to make canon-optional DC Comics stories at a high production value - and even a (literally) bigger page - a role that the company’s Vertigo imprint had been struggling to perform for the modern market. Wonder Woman Historia was among the very first titles DC announced when it revealed the scope and theme of its new Black Label imprint in spring of 2018.
Why is Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons happening now? Of course, by the end of the issue, the full historia is not complete. The raison d’etre of the book’s mysterious narrator is to tell the Amazons’ own version of their history, contrary to the stories that have been told about them by others. This first issue retells and adapts the creation story of DC’s Amazons, borrowing much from George Pérez’s 1987 Wonder Woman run, in which several Greek goddesses create a new race of female warriors from the souls of women who died violently at the hands of men. What is Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #1 about? The subsequent two issues of the series will be drawn by Gene Ha and Nicola Scott. The book was colored by Hi-Fi, Arif Prianto, and Romulo Fajardo Jr.
For DeConnick, the writer behind Bitch Planet and Captain Marvel, it’s almost shocking to say that this is her first work ever in the world of DC’s Amazons. Jimenez’s work is characterized by clear lines, impeccable anatomy, stunning detail, and mesmerizing layouts - he also has a long and beloved history with Wonder Woman. Both are synonymous with depictions of feminine power. Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #1 is written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and drawn by Phil Jimenez. Or maybe it’s the thing that matters most.) Who is making Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons? The long-awaited title from DC’s Black Label imprint is a cup that runneth over, a series of page spreads that drop like the BWOMMM of a Hans Zimmer score, a masochistic commitment to decoration turned to decadence on paper. By the second page, it’s immediately obvious why Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons took over three years to make.
