Only in the second year did Pérez himself take over writing the script. However, Pérez’s progress to full control was slow. He began writing with Greg Potter, and though Potter rapidly departed, leaving Pérez as sole plotter, Len Wein came on board to put words into Pérez’s characters’ mouths. In 1987, he got his chance with a relaunch of Wonder Woman. He was second only to John Byrne as a fan-favourite, but, unlike Byrne, he had never written and drawn a comic series solo, though he had a strong input into the plotting of Teen Titans. In 1987, Pérez was a superstar who had worked on Fantastic Fourand Avengers for Marvel, and then Justice League of America, New Teen Titans and Crisis on Infinite Earthsfor DC. This collection brings together the first two years of George Pérez’s excellent run as writer and artist on Wonder Woman, presenting the material on glossy paper and in hardback.
