Coliseum of Comics acquires historic first appearance of Wonder Woman in All-Star Comics #8

Coliseum of Comics will display ALL-STAR COMICS #8 featuring the first appearance of Wonder Woman, this Saturday during Free Comic Book Day.

Coliseum of Comics, the largest comic book retailer in the Southeastern United States, proudly announces the acquisition of one of the most iconic artifacts in comic book history - the first appearance of Wonder Woman in ALL-STAR COMICS #8, which originally went on sale October 21, 1941.

Wonder Woman, created by writer William Moulton Marston and artist H.G. Peter, has stood as a symbol of truth, justice, and empowerment for over eight decades - and her first appearance remains a milestone in American pop culture.

"The DC Trinity is Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman," said Phil Boyle, founder and President of Coliseum of Comics. "This is the third most important book in DC Comics canon, and it’s the first copy I’ve ever held in my four decades of selling comics. To bring this legendary issue into our collection is more than a business move; it’s a celebration of the powerful stories that continue to inspire generations."

The newly acquired ALL-STAR COMICS #8 will be available for a limited public viewing at Coliseum of Comics’ flagship Millenia store (4672 Millenia Plaza Way, Orlando, FL) this Saturday, May 3rd – Free Comic Book Day - from 11:00 a.m to 2:00 p.m. After letting fans see the historic book, it will be sent for grading and cleaning before being offered at auction.

“Since copies of this key issue rarely come to market, we’re excited to see what kind of interest there is,” Boyle said.
