Oh, man, I cannot tell you how happy this page makes me.
They were wrapping up Wonder Woman, to have JMS take over the book. All fine, that's how it goes. They asked George Perez to draw a short goodbye story to the classic Wonder Woman, because it was felt that JMS was going to recreate everything and it was essentially a new character.
George said he would only draw it if I would write it. Me, write my Wonder hero's last WW story?
YES.
I wanted to do a story showing how WW inspired the newer generation of female heroes. If you look, all these heroines are recent, the last couple decades. He drew every one of them so beautifully, it just killed me.
A few months after the story came out, I got a package in the mail. George and the art team had sent me two pages of original art from the story and not even mentioned it, just as a gift.
This is a great job, sometimes.
