DC Comics Universe and January 2020 Solicitations Spoilers follows.

Wonder Woman Begins 20 Year Journey To Wonder Woman #1000 As MASSIVE Wonder Woman #750 Celebration Begins!

While not part of the announcement, that Nicola Scott cover of Wonder Woman through the ages could work nicely with this news.

The cover is in the vein of her Action #1000…

…and Detective Comics #1000 efforts.

She also did a fun Nightwing #1000 one too, but adorns no comic book (yet?).

Anyhow, the big Wonder Woman news is below.

DC Comics reports:

Wonder Woman debuted in All Star Comics #8 which was released in October 1941.

From January 1942 Wonder Woman was featured in Sensation Comics #1 and most of that series 109 issue run.

In the summer of 1942 the first ongoing Wonder Woman series debuted.

If Wonder Woman only publishes one issue per month from January 2020, it would take the series 20.8 years or 250 months to reach Wonder Woman #1000.

In two years we’ll reach 80 years of Wonder Woman to boot! We’re at 78 years in 2019.

Cool.
