Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons: Absolute Edition

A myth reborn in fire, fury, and breathtaking beauty—Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons is a visionary reimagining of the Amazon origin, crafted by Eisner-nominated writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and brought to life by three of comics’ greatest artists in a masterpiece worthy of the Absolute Edition format.

Before Wonder Woman, before Themyscira, before the world had a word for “Amazon,” the goddesses of Olympus made a choice that defied heaven. Out of anger, grief, and divine purpose, they created a new society—one shaped entirely by women, forged to protect the powerless, and destined to challenge the cruelty of gods and men alike. Across generations, a single thread binds their hidden history: Hippolyta, a mortal woman whose burning will, fierce compassion, and unimaginable loss lead her toward a destiny that will change the world.

Kelly Sue DeConnick (Captain Marvel, Bitch Planet) partners with three artistic titans—Phil Jimenez (Wonder Woman, Invisible Woman), Gene Ha (Top 10, Mae), and Nicola Scott (Black Magick, Wonder Woman: Year One)—to deliver a sweeping mythic epic of war, sisterhood, and the birth of one of DC’s greatest icons. Jimenez paints divine rebellion with operatic grandeur, Ha renders Hippolyta’s mortal journey with emotional intimacy, and Scott brings the saga to a towering, explosive crescendo as the Amazons clash with Olympus itself. Presented in a definitive Absolute Edition, this volume honors one of the most visually stunning and critically acclaimed DC stories of the modern era.
