As Pride Month draws to a close, superhero publisher DC Comics is under fire. For the fifth consecutive year, it has celebrated Pride with a feast of LGBT+ characters, including Batwoman and Poison Ivy. Bravo! But missing was their number one queer icon, Wonder Woman – arguably the most socially significant comic superhero of all time.
Ever since the inception of the annual DC Pride anthology in 2021, its covers and stories have featured all of DC’s top LGBTQIA+ characters – but never Wonder Woman. If DC were willing to acknowledge their biggest female star’s queer identity, she’d be front and centre of the DC Pride anthology every year, to boost the sales of their Pride output. Tellingly, she’s not.
