Wonder Woman: Amazonia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wonder Woman: Amazonia is a comic book/graphic novel published by DC Comics under its Elseworlds imprint. As with all Elseworlds it tells a non-canon story of a DC hero, this time Wonder Woman, outside of regular continuity. It is set in the 19th Century

[edit] Storyline

In another reality, the entire British Royal family was wiped out in an explosion in the 19th century, except the Duke of Clarence, who is confined to a wheelchair, and a distant American cousin, Jack Planters, who becomes King. Planters is Jack the Ripper and under his rule the British Empire becomes steadily more mysogynistic.

Diana (Wonder Woman) is snatched away from Paradise Island by Captain Steven Trevor and the Royal Marines. She is forced to marry Trevor and becomes the star of a London theatrical show, reenacting tales of women from the Bible. She eventually shows herself to be a great heroine, freeing oppressed women from all over the Empire and taking on the terrible reign of King Jack.
