About the Author
Having co-founded the super-hero comics fanzine Alter Ego in 1961, Roy Thomas (b. 1940) became writer/assistant editor for Stan Lee at Marvel Comics in 1965 after a very brief stint as assistant editor of DC's Superman titles. From 1965-1980 and/or during the 1990s he wrote for Marvel The Avengers, The X-Men, Fantastic Four, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Dr. Strange, Daredevil, Sub-Mariner, Avengers West Coast, The Amazing Spider-Man, et al.--including The Invaders, a comic which spun near WWII-period adventures of Captain America, the Human Torch, and the Sub-Mariner. In the '70s he was the first writer and editor of Marvel's Conan the Barbarian, The Savage Sword of Conan, and Red Sonja, whom he again authored in the 1990s. At DC Comics in the 1980s he wrote All-Star Squadron (a super-hero comic set in 1941-42), Shazam!, Secret Origins (retelling WWII-era origins of DC's heroes), Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, and other top series. He served as a Marvel editor from 1965-80, as Marvel's editor-in-chief from 1972-74, and as a DC editor from 1980-86.
At Marvel he co-created Ultron and the Vision (both of whom will be prominently featured in the 2015 film The Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Iron Fist, the kung-fu super-hero who will be featured later this year by Netflix in both his own series and in The Defenders. He has written a number of graphic novels starring Conan, Spider-Man, Dracula, et al.
Also in the '80s, he co-scripted the films Fire and Ice (for director Ralph Bakshi and 20th Century Fox) and Conan the Destroyer (for Universal), starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. He also provided scripts for the 1980s TV science-fiction series Super Force, for the 1990s TV series Xena - Warrior Princess, and for a bit of TV animation.
Since 1999 he has edited a professional Alter Ego magazine (130 issues so far and counting) and has worked with Stan Lee on the scripting of the Spider-Man newspaper comic strip. He currently also writes online strips of Tarzan and John Carter of Mars for Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.. For the German publisher Taschen he has written the humongous book 75 Years of Marvel: From Golden Age to Silver Screen, (released in late 2014) and is also writing an equally huge book about Marvel's Stan Lee. Besides winning numerous other fan and pro awards in the comics field over the years, he was elected to comics' Eisner Hall of Fame at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con.

By ANDY FISH The concept of these books is great.Full disclosure, I've authored books for Chartwell in the past but my review is an honest one.Roy Thomas collects some of the classic WWII era stories for DC Comics big three, in this case Wonder Woman. My review is for that title but it could be put in any of the other titles featuring Batman and Superman. I happen to be a big fan of golden age comics, I probably have most of these stories already but I liked the idea of having reasonably priced hardcover editions.My complaint is the way this is designed-- while the book is on the larger size the comics themselves are printed about 1/3 smaller than they could be and a border is placed all around the outside of each page to fill the dead area. Why wasn't this either printed at a different size or the art itself adjusted to fit the page? It's distracting and disappointing in an otherwise nice collection of stories.No fault to Thomas who is a well regarded historian in the field. But c'mon-- ridiculous.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The Maid of Might By V.J. Miller Sr. As lovely as Aphrodite – As wise as Athens – With the speed of Mercury and stronger than Hercules, Wonder Woman fought against the Axis powers during WWII.Once again, Roy Thomas has dug deep into the DC archives to ferret out the most representative stories of the Maid of Might during the Second World War.Wonder Woman was created in 1941 by Dr. Charles Moulton Marston a graduate of Harvard in 1915. The war was raging in Europe when WW came on the scene but the US would be plunged into that war by December of that year.M.C. Gaines, publisher of All-American Comics (which was formerly allied with DC Comics) chose to publish WW for a six month trial as long as Marston wrote the script. H.G. Peter was hired and paid by Marston to do the artwork. Marston would publish under the pen name of Charles Moulton; a combination of his and M.C. Gaines middle names.Wonder Woman’s debut would be as a backup story in All-Star Comics #8 before starting in Sensation Comics #1. A special clause was written into Marston’s contract by Gaines that would ensure that DC, who later bought out Gaines, would continue to keep Wonder Woman in print. What it was you will have to read the book to discover; no spoilers here.What to do with WW:Superman could likely have won the war single handed what with all his powers, so DC decided to keep him in America to fight all the subversives and fifth columnists. Batman was a normal human being and could be shot and killed easily, so he too remained at home to fight saboteurs and spies. The Maid of Might was handled differently.With her strength and speed plus her ability to ward off bullets with her bracelets, she got into the thick of the fighting in both theaters of action.With all her abilities I’m not so sure she actually exercised the Wisdom of Athena. Many times when Steve Trevor was in danger, Wonder Woman, who had fallen in love with Steve, would rush blindly into traps and endanger her secret identity. She nearly always had to rely on her friend, Etta Candy and the girls from the college to rescue her.Wonder Woman would also have to fight Mars, the God of War on more than one occasion, along with his many minions.At the Wars end, Wonder Woman would shift her tactics to helping veterans find their place in the world where they could live in peace.
