Wonder Woman and Paradise Island


Capstone Publishing (Stone Arch Books) proudly presents a quartet of DC Comics Super Hero Junior Novels starring Wonder Woman: the Amazon Princess.
 
Easy to comprehend stories written for young readers follows the adventures of Wonder Woman in four spectacular adventures.

In Wonder Woman The Amazing Amazon Cheetah Unleashed, written and illustrated by BrandonT. Snider and Luciano Vecchio, Wonder Woman’s faces her arch enemy the Cheetah as she searches for a ‘cure’ to change her back into a human.

Cheetah escapes from prison in search of the legendary Pandora’s Box in a desperate bid to use its power to become human again.

Only Wonder Woman knows differently.  Can she stop Cheetah before she releases the deadly secret of Pandora’s Box?

In three Tales Of Paradise Island books Wonder Woman’s bracelets, tiara and lasso are featured.
In The Unbreakable Bracelets, Wonder Woman goes up against Cheetah’s deadly traps 

The Legendary Lasso has Wonder Woman facing off against the sorceress Circe and her deadly magic spells.

In The Tiara And The Titan, Wonder Woman has a ‘big’ problem as she goes up against the size-changing Giganta.  Giganta’s lust for gold brings her down to size.

All three Paradise Island tales are written by Michael Dahl and drawn by Omar Lozano.

Capstone’s DC Comics adaptations remind me a great deal of the excellent DC animated series from Warner Bros.  The stories, while simple, are exciting to read and the art really captures the look and feel of each animated series.

All of the books offer an excellent means by which young readers can polish their reading skills while enjoying the first-rate art.
