Sensation Comics #1 - 1st Wonder Woman series begins, 1st Wildcat, Mr. Terrific

Sensation Comics #1

Sensation Comics v1 #1, 1942 - After her debut in All Star Comics #8, Wonder Woman becomes the lead feature in this golden age series. In addition to her first cover and ongoing series, this comic also debuts two new superheroes. In separate stories, professional boxer Ted Grant dons a feline costume to become Wildcat, while genius-athlete Terry Sloane decides to fight crime as Mr. Terrific. The rest of the book introduces lesser known characters like Little Boy Blue, the Black Pirate and the Gay Ghost (yes that's his name). This entire issue was later reprinted as Famous First Edition #C-30. Wonder Woman's first solo adventure was written by William Marston and drawn by Harry Peter. Charles Reizenstein and artist Hal Sharp produced "Mr. Terrific". Wildcat's origin, by Bill Finger and artist Irwin Hasen, was later reprinted in Secret Origins #3. Wonder Woman would soon debut her own self-titled series. /// key 1st appearance, 1st origin Ted Grant as Wildcat, Terry Sloane as Mr. Terrific, 1st series, 1st cover Wonder Woman, 1st issue
