They should revive Sensation Comics and make it a Wonder Fam anthology series, similar to the current Action Comics.

#wonder woman #sensation comics #wonder girl #donna troy #cassie sandsmark #wonder fam #dc comics #action comics #on the one hand it is a good thing there aren't loads of ww titles because it keeps the main one focused and away from crossover madness #but there still be at least another title #something to help expanded and explore the world #and shine a spotlight and characters other than diana #it would be nice to have a series where donna and cassie can headline their own stories #not be sidekicks or team members #ideally a wonder girls series should do that #but dc don't want to do that so this is the next best thing

Some pages from the origin story and first appearance of Wildcat, by Bill Finger (co-creator of a some guy called Batman) and Irwin Hasen, from Sensation Comics (vol. 1) #1 (January, 1942).

As a kid I only knew Hasen as the artist on the newspaper strip Dondi. I bought the New York Daily News every Sunday for my grandmother, and she let me have the large color comics section, which carried Dondi. The other Sunday newspapers my family read were Long Island's Newsday, which had a so-so comics section with no adventure strips, and The New York Times, which carried no comic strips at all (boring!).

It wasn't until I purchased Famous First Edition #C-30, the over-sized reprint of Sensation Comics #1, that I realized Hasen had been a comic book artist during the Golden Age. I really loved those reprints from DC, complete with the ads that ran in the books.

I liked the whole bit where Ted Grant is inspired to become Wildcat by "comic book character" (and his future Justice Society of America teammate) Green Lantern. That same bit is used in the Little Boy Blue origin story in the same issue. When deciding to become a costumed crime fighter, the hero is told by his best friend that Wildcat was inspired to do so by Green Lantern. So very meta.

Sensation Comics #1 included the original and first appearance of Mr. Terrific (another future member of the Justice Society), and The Gay Ghost (later renamed The Grim Ghost). It also featured the second appearance of some dame named Wonder Woman, who also snagged the cover spot.

January 1942. If you want to talk about probably closeted JSA members, it seems like Terry Sloane (the first Mr. Terrific) should be high on the list. His origin story explains that he was a child prodigy who became a star athlete and a hugely successful businessman, but was gripped by a profound sense of alienation from his peers that he couldn't really explain. He finally became so depressed that he decided to kill himself by driving his car off a bridge. This plan was interrupted when he saw a young woman named Wanda Wilson jump off the same bridge. Thinking, "Can't let the little fool die--I must save her," Terry dived in after Wanda and rescued her. After she explained her problem — she was raising her younger brother, who'd fallen in with a bad crowd — Terry decided to delay his suicide long enough to intervene:

The badge on his very silly-looking costume reads, "FAIR PLAY," which I think we're supposed to assume he's pried off one of his old trophies. These kids subsequently gave him his name: "Mr. Terrific" (which is not the silliest name for a Golden Age costumed hero, but definitely up there). He later joined the Justice Society, although he appeared in only one published Golden Age adventure (ALL-STAR COMICS #24); his solo strip in SENSATION COMICS ran through 1947, after which he retired and became an English lit instructor at Gateway University. As later established in JSA, he never married or had any children of his own, but he raised his niece Veronica after the disappearance of his brother Ned in 1951.

The original Mr. Terrific is now best known for his murder: He was killed in 1979 by a (never-before seen) old enemy called the Spirit King in JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #171, for reasons unknown.
