Joye Murchison
Joye Murchison, also known as Joye Hummel, holds a singular place in comics history: she was the first woman to write Wonder Woman. Hired in the 1940s as an assistant to the character's creator, William Moulton Marston, she took over the scripting when Marston fell ill, ghost-writing many Golden Age Wonder Woman stories that appeared under his name.
Her work is collected in Wonder Woman: The Golden Age Omnibus, which gathers the early adventures of the Amazon princess. These volumes preserve the era Murchison contributed to, letting readers follow the original Golden Age continuity that shaped one of DC's most enduring heroes.
Her credited body of work is small and specific, but its importance is not: she was writing Wonder Woman before her role was publicly acknowledged. For collectors interested in the character's origins and in the women who helped build them, the Golden Age omnibus editions are the way to read this material in USA hardcover form.
