Wonder Woman made her comic book debut in All Star Comics #8 in
December 1941. Her cover debut
followed on Sensational Comics #1 in January
1942, and the first full length comic devoted exclusive to
her was Wonder Woman #1 the following July. In total, these three
books make up the definitive debut, cover art and origin for Wonder
Woman as an inspirational and beloved comic book character.
The comics are being sold on eBay by seller Darren Adams, owner of Pristine Comics. Darren
previously sold Action Comics #1 on eBay in 2014, for a record
$3.2 million. "As a comic book
collector, these three Wonder Woman books are truly one-of-a-kind.
All three are all in near-perfect condition, which really excites
me as a collector – to think that comics in this condition, which
are over 75 years old, are still out there," said Adams. "eBay did
such a phenomenal job helping me to sell the Action Comics #1 a few
years ago, and I firmly believe their global marketplace will help
get the reach and connect with other comic book enthusiasts like
myself with these sales."
The upcoming Wonder Woman sale is expected to break records as
well. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Trafficking
Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to the prevention of human trafficking,
through eBay for Charity.
"With the rise in popularity of the Wonder Woman franchise this
year, we're excited to be able to bring the three most important
books from her Golden age origin story to our 171 million eBay
users. eBay provides access to items you can't find anywhere else
and we're thrilled to be able to give shoppers the chance to own
the highest graded definitive Wonder Woman key comic books in
history," said Sam Bright, Senior
Director of Art & Collectibles at eBay.
