He was also the creator of \u003ci\u003eWonder Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, the comic that he used to express two of his greatest passions: feminism and women in bondage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eComics expert Noah Berlatsky takes us on a wild ride through the \u003ci\u003eWonder Woman\u003c\/i\u003e comics of the 1940s, vividly illustrating how Marston's many quirks and contradictions, along with the odd disproportionate composition created by illustrator Harry Peter, produced a comic that was radically ahead of its time in terms of its bold presentation of female power and sexuality. Himself a committed polyamorist, Marston created a universe that was friendly to queer sexualities and lifestyles, from kink to lesbianism to cross-dressing. Written with a deep affection for the fantastically pulpy elements of the early \u003ci\u003eWonder Woman\u003c\/i\u003ecomics, from invisible jets to giant multi-lunged space kangaroos, the book also reveals how the comic addressed serious, even taboo issues like rape and incest. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWonder Woman: Bondage and Feminism in the Marston\/Peter Comics\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e1941-1948 \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how illustrator and writer came together to create a unique, visionary work of art, filled with bizarre ambition, revolutionary fervor, and love, far different from the action hero symbol of the feminist movement many of us recall from television.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNOAH BERLATSKY is the editor of the comics and culture blog The Hooded Utilitarian.
