Hold onto your golden tiaras, ladies and gents, because this installment of the Donnybrook Cosmic features a widescreen dust up between the Amazons of Paradise Island and Eviless and her Saturnic Girls. (Great garage band name, that.)
It happened in the pages of Wonder Woman #28 (March-April 1948), in an epic tale best described as a Bayeux Tapestry of B&D sequences. While William Moulton Marston, Wonder Woman's creator, was never one to pass up the opportunity to depict his kink of choice in scripting the adventures of Princess Diana and company, he well and truly pulled out the stops in this long-form exploration of the many ways one could be bound, gagged, or otherwise physically restrained.
Here's the (much abridged) highlight reel:
The story also featured a number of Diana's most diabolic foes, organized by Eviless into the sinister Villainy Incorporated (VILI.N, presently trading at 37.54), and a shifty and dangerous lot they are...
...and to think Joss Whedon claimed Wonder Woman lacked a decent rogues' gallery. Pshaw, I say.Our series of original/cover version pairings concludes with a glam rock masterpiece oozing with retro-futuristic decadence and its aggressively flat re-interpretation by a spin-off of Britpunk legends Blitz.
