Wonder Woman - The Challenge Of Artemis

Wonder Woman
The Challenge Of Artemis
Cover by Mike Deodato Jr., Colorworks

Ever since it was determined that the Amazons were to send an emissary to man's world, that ambassadorship has been held by Princess Diana, daughter of Queen Hippolyta... champion of the contest which determined her right to wear the costume of Wonder Woman.

But came the day Hippolyta decreed that Diana had failed in her mission; that she had not upheld  the Amazon ideals and no longer deserved to wear the mantle of Wonder Woman... that a second Contest be held to choose a new champion!

Was it Diana's failure that led to Hippolyta's decision? Or was it a dark and shameful secret in the queen's past that led to the upset victory by Artemis, champion of the lost tribe of Amazons... the new Wonder Woman?

Now stripped of her magic vestments, Diana continues the battle against injustice in the form of such evils as The Joker, Cheetah, Poison Ivy, Circe, and the White Magician while Artemis follows her own path... a trail rife with danger... with betrayal and death waiting at journey's end!

'Wonder Woman: The Challenge Of Artemis' collects the story of Artemis' adventures as Wonder Woman and Diana's life without that mantle, as she finds a way to continue battling for justice.

Release Date: May, 1996
