In the old days we called them comic books, and they were a guilty pleasure, bought for a few nickels at the corner drugstore, toted back home where we flopped on our stomachs on the floor of our rooms or lay in the hammock in the summer backyard to read them.  Nowadays they’ve made their way into the classroom where they’re called Graphic Novels, and teachers use them as a means of enticing reluctant students to enjoy reading.  Wonder Woman was always a favorite–a lone fist-fighting Amazon in a pack of male super heroes.  She’s still going strong, as her new slightly punk, slightly Goth look shows.  Remember bullets and bracelets?  It’s how a hardworking supergal kept the bad guys at bay.
