This is the mini-series that first brought Trina Robbins to my attention.

I have always appreciated this "jam" artwork (from the History of the DC Universe HC).

Trina Robbins was an excellent choice for the miniseries The Legend of Wonder Woman, in that her style was similar to the H.G. Peters stories from the earliest Wonder Woman comics. The Legend of Wonder Woman was published to fill the gap between the end of the Wonder Woman tilte -- one of the many (unnecessary) casualties of Crisis on Infinite Earths -- and the reboot led be Len Wein and George Perez. This was back when DC had to have some Wonder Woman content on the stands or risk losing the rights to the character.

I was, and am, gobsmacked to learn that Trina Robbins was the first woman to actually draw any Wonder Woman series. But then, given how mysogynistic DC could be toward women comics creators, maybe I shouldn't be.
