Celebrating the 80th Anniversary of Wonder Woman and 15 Years of New York Comic Con
In the world of superheroes, Wonder Woman is a legend.
Princess Diana of Themyscira has been around for 80 years since she made her debut in the 1941 All Star Comics #8. In honor of that anniversary, DC announced a global celebration that is expected to happen on October 21: Wonder Woman Day.
One of the events that will happen is the induction of Wonder Woman into the Comic-Con Museum Character Hall of Fame. Fans can watch the induction on the Comic-Con Museum YouTube channel.
Other events that will take place include:

* A 400-page reprint collection called Wonder Woman: 80 Years of the Amazon Warrior;
* A new comic series called Nubia and the Amazons; and,
* The Wonder Woman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular.
On October 23, Cartoon Network’s Teen Titans Go! will acknowledge Wonder Woman’s anniversary with a special episode titled “DC,” which will find the Titans celebrating her 80th birthday party.
That’s not all. DC will be launching partnerships with various brands like Echelon, who will debut an apparel and fitness line that will include a jump rope Lasso of Truth; and in 2022 a statue of Wonder Woman will be unveiled in Burbank, California .
