Much as I loved Trina’s work, there is one minor correction I want to make. Trina Robbins was the first female artist to illustrate “Wonder Woman” for DC Comics. That is, a comic book featuring Wonder Woman that contained Wonder Woman in the title. She drew the mini-series “The Legend of Wonder Woman,” which came out in 1986.
However in 1977 Wonder Woman appeared in the DC comic book “Super Friends,” based on the Hanna-Barbera animated series of the same name. The late Ramona Fradon, who also died this year, drew several issues of that comic. So Ramona Fradon was the first female artist to illustrate a story that contained Wonder Woman for DC comics.
So the first female artist to draw Wonder Woman was Ramona Fradon. The first female artist to draw “Wonder Woman” was Trina Robbins.

Shouldn’t women be expected to be the designer, developer, and illustrator of all female heroes, both normal and super?
