The Gallery's Perspective
There’s an immediate sense of arrival in Jim Lee’s rendering — Wonder Woman stands with one foot planted on shattered stone as light bursts from beneath her, and you can almost feel the aftershock. The pose reads like confident steadiness: chin slightly raised, cape unfurling behind her, shield at the ready and the Lasso of Truth coiled and glowing at her side. Warm golds and ember tones around the base contrast with cooler blues in her hair and skirt, giving the image a heroic warmth that’s also cinematic. Lee’s linework and layered color bring tactile energy to her armor and the folds of fabric, while the looping light trails add movement without distracting from her presence. The result is both powerful and humane — a classic icon rendered with modern dynamism that feels built to inspire.

About Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman - There is so much to love about the new Wonder Woman movie...the rich story telling, terrific acting and chemistry, amazing battle scenes, and beautifully rendered historical setting...but what I loved most was Wonder Woman's sense of humanity. In this portrayal we are given a heroine who deserves our admiration. She is an icon for the ages

Jim Lee, a world-renowned comic book artist, writer, editor and publisher, is now currently the Co-Publisher of DC Entertainment (DCE) alongside Dan DiDio.
Known for his incredibly detailed and dynamic artistic style, Lee is one of the most revered and respected artists in American comics. A veritable legend in the industry, he has received numerous accolades and recognition for his work, including the Harvey Special Award for New Talent in 1990, the Inkpot Award in 1992, and the Wizard Fan Award in 1996, 2002 and 2003.
Prior to his current post at DCE, Lee served as Editorial Director, where he oversaw WildStorm Studios and was also the artist for many of DC Comics' bestselling comic books and graphic novels, including ALL STAR BATMAN AND ROBIN, THE BOY WONDER, BATMAN: HUSH, and SUPERMAN: FOR TOMORROW. He also serves as the Executive Creative Director for the DC Universe Online (DCUO) massively multiplayer action game from Sony Online Entertainment (SOE).
Jim Lee was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1964 but moved with his family to St. Louis, Missouri when he was young. After graduating cum laude with a BA in Psychology from Princeton University in 1986, he started his professional career at Marvel Comics where his work on the X-Men continues to hold the all-time sales record for single-issue sales at an incredible 8 million copies sold in one month.
In 1992, he started his own production company, WildStorm Productions, and co-founded Image Comics, an independent comics company that quickly grew to become the third largest North American publisher. Two of his creations, WILDCATS and GEN 13, saw life beyond comics as a CBS Saturday morning cartoon and as a DTV animated movie distributed by Disney, respectively. In 1998, DC Comics purchased WildStorm Productions and Lee left Image Comics to join the DC Entertainment creative team.
In 2010, Titan Books released the 300-page artbook of Jim Lee s DC Comics work titled ICONS: THE DC & WILDSTORM ART OF JIM LEE. In 2011, Lee was integral in the launch of DC Entertainment s NEW 52 initiative, designing the new, more contemporary costumes for some of the DC universe s most iconic characters, including Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.
