What I bought – 3 June 2010
“To break up the superstition and worship of legality should be our aim.

Wonder of Wonders – The Lasso’s Infinitely Elastic, the Stories Don’t Have to be, too
by Martin Gray When Wonder Woman started out, each issue of her comic featured her in as many as four stories for 10 cents.
