A Day in the Limelight: The entire series is one for the Amazons in general, and Hippolyta specifically, who have mainly been supporting and background characters in Wonder Woman material.When a despairing woman named Hippolyta crossed the Amazons' path, a series of events was set in motion that would lead to an outright war in heaven-and the creation of the Earth's greatest guardian! A new society was born, one never before seen on Earth, capable of wondrous and terrible things…but their existence could not stay secret for long. Millennia ago, Queen Hera and the goddesses of the Olympian pantheon grew greatly dissatisfied with their male counterparts…and far from their sight, they put a plan into action.

The series looks to tell the true history of Queen Hippolyta and the Amazons, before Steve Trevor washed up ashore on Themyscira. Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick ( Bitch Planet, Captain Marvel ) and art by Phil Jimenez ( Wonder Woman (1987), Infinite Crisis) on the first issue with artists Gene Ha ( Top 10) and Nicola Scott ( Wonder Woman (Rebirth), Black Magick) on subsequent issues. Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons is a DC Comics series released under its Black Label imprint in November 2021.
