Wonder Woman Modern Key Issues: vol. 2 #1, New 52 and Rebirth

Created by William Moulton Marston (writer) and Harry G. Peter (artist), Wonder Woman debuted in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941), then headlined Sensation Comics #1 (January 1942) and received her own solo title Wonder Woman vol. 1 #1 in 1942. That vol. 1 run continued through to issue #329 in 1986 — then DC relaunched the series from scratch. This guide focuses on the modern era (1987 to the present): the key issues from each successive relaunch that structure today's collector market, with real eBay values from June 2026 and documented records for the major pieces.

This guide sticks to the verifiable: eBay medians from our estimator (eBay.fr + eBay.com, June 2026) and documented sale records from Heritage Auctions, CGC News, and GoCollect. The eBay tool for WW vol. 2 #1 (1987) returns only 5 active listings — signal too thin, median not cited — as the tool blends all volumes. Qualitative assessment takes precedence over invented figures.

Values = eBay estimator data, all grades combined. The all-grades median reflects the floor price (mostly low-grade copies); CGC 9.8 slabs trade well above this level. "Signal too thin" = fewer than 15 active listings.

Wonder Woman vol. 2 #1 (1987): the George Perez relaunch

After the vol. 1 run ended at issue #329 (1986), DC Comics handed the complete reinvention of the character to George Perez, who served as both co-writer (with Len Wein and then Greg Potter) and artist. Wonder Woman vol. 2 #1, cover-dated February 1987, is the birth certificate of modern Themyscira: Perez reimagined the Amazons, placed the Greek pantheon at the heart of Diana's mythology, and delivered artwork of a decorative richness unmatched in superhero comics of the era. The issue also features an iconic wraparound cover design.

On eBay the picture is complicated: our estimator returns only 5 active listings — too thin for a reliable median. This is partly due to reference ambiguity: the tool blends Wonder Woman vol. 1 #1 (1942, a Golden Age grail worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in high grade) with vol. 2 #1 (1987, affordable). In ungraded Fine/Near-Mint condition, the vol. 2 #1 remains very accessible — the majority of copies trade for a few dozen euros at most. A CGC 9.8 Signature Series copy signed by George Perez has appeared at Heritage Auctions, but no consolidated realized price is publicly available at time of writing.

The New 52: Wonder Woman vol. 4 #1 (2011) and the Azzarello/Chiang run

In September 2011, DC Comics relaunched its entire line under the The New 52 banner. Wonder Woman vol. 4 #1 was handed to writer Brian Azzarello and artist Cliff Chiang. The series made a radical mythological pivot: Diana discovers she is the daughter of Zeus (not an Amazon born of clay), fundamentally reshaping her identity. The run earned strong critical praise for the quality of Chiang's artwork and its original treatment of Greek gods.

The standout key within this run is Wonder Woman #6 (New 52, April 2012): it marks the first appearance of Cheetah in the New 52, in a redesign by Chiang. Our eBay estimator returns a median of €9 across 97 listings for the #6 — note that this figure blends all versions of issue #6 across every volume; in practice, New 52 copies are readily available at comparable prices in ungraded condition.

The Rebirth relaunch (2016): Greg Rucka, Liam Sharp and Nicola Scott

In June 2016, DC launched its DC Rebirth initiative and returned Wonder Woman to Greg Rucka — a highly anticipated comeback. Wonder Woman: Rebirth #1 served as the bridge, and the ongoing series then adopted a unique alternating structure: even-numbered issues (drawn by Liam Sharp) followed a contemporary Diana in the The Lies arc, while odd-numbered issues (drawn by Nicola Scott) retold her origin in Year One. It is widely considered one of the most creatively accomplished runs of the Rebirth era.

Our estimator returns a median of €10 (high €24) across 18 listings for WW Rebirth #1 — a shallow but consistent market, in line with the general level of the series, which remains accessible. The Rucka run is most often collected in trade paperback form by readers and in single issues by raw-copy collectors looking for Fine/Near-Mint condition.

The anniversary issue #750 (2020) and variant covers

Published in March 2020, Wonder Woman #750 is an oversized anniversary issue celebrating 80 years of the character, bringing together contributions from many of her defining creators — including Greg Rucka, Gail Simone, and Brian Michael Bendis, among others. Produced in numerous cover variants, it is the most liquid recent-era issue on eBay: our estimator returns a median of €12 (high €23) across 57 listings. The rarest or signed variants command a variable premium depending on the seller.

The Golden Age grails that started it all (for reference)

The true foundational key issues in Wonder Woman's history lie far beyond the reach of the everyday market. For context — and because they frame the value of everything that followed:

• All Star Comics #8 (December 1941) — 1st appearance of Wonder Woman (series: all-star-comics, not wonder-woman). Documented record: $1,620,000 for a CGC 9.4, Heritage Auctions, June 2022.
• Sensation Comics #1 (January 1942) — 1st solo cover (series: sensation-comics). Documented record: $399,100 for a CGC 9.6, Heritage Auctions, 2017.
• Wonder Woman vol. 1 #1 (1942) — 1st solo title. Documented record: approximately $291,100 for a CGC 9.0, Heritage Auctions, 2016.

These three titles are not reliably accessible through our eBay estimator (too few listings, separate series identifiers) — auction sale records are the authoritative reference here.
