Rob-I became a Wonder Woman fan thanks to the TV show, then got on board with the comics arround 1980 or 1981. When the reboot happenned, and I got wind of the changes that were happenning, I dropped the current book like a hot potato, not really catching up with it again until the mid-late 1990's. (I'm caught up now, and I do have to say I was missing something, but...) I bought back-issues feverishly, though, dating from the 1960's through the 1980's, with one prized, poor-condition book from the early 1950's Kannigher-Peter era. With rereading I've discovered that the WW comics of the early 1980's were every bit as good as I remembered tham and more, though others haven't held up as well in my mind.
I knew little about the Golden Age apart from the very, very few stories I could find reprinted. But once Arhcives came out, and I parted with the dough, I knew I had found the Wonder Woman I had always wanted from the comics. Arhcives # 2 was even better; I think Marston's storytelling skills progressed as went. And I also got my mits on the book put out by Gloria Steinem in the 1970's, reprinting some Golden Age stories, including a key one introducing Dr. Psycho.
