ILLUSTRATOR/ARTIST:

Harry George Peter(March 8, 188– January 2, 1958)was an American newspaper illustrator and cartoonist known for his work on theWonder Womancomic bookand forBud Fisherof theSan Francisco Chronicle.

Harry George Peter was born in San Rafael,California, in 1880, the third of three children.Parents Louis and Louisa Peter were born in France, and his father worked as a tailor.At the age of twenty he drew newspaper illustrations under the name H. G. Peter, while answering to the nicknames \"Harry\" or \"Pete\".Working for theSan Francisco Chronicle, he met Adonica Fulton, a staff artist for theSan Francisco Bulletinwho had studied at theMark Hopkins Institute of Art. After moving to New York together in 1907, their pen-and-ink stye illustration, influenced byCharles Dana Gibson, earned them editorial work from magazines like theNew York AmericanandJudge. In 1912 they married.

His first work for comic books was throughLloyd Jacquet\'s comic shop,Funnies, Inc., where he illustrated such features as the biography of GeneralGeorge C. MarshallinTrue Comics#4 (September 1941). His first superhero was Man o\' Metal in \"Reg\'lar Fellers Heroic Comics\" (July, 1941).

His most lasting work came when the 61-year-old artist broughtWilliam Moulton Marston\'s Amazonian superheroineWonder Womanto life on the pages of comic books (even though Peter went on to be uncredited in her creation) in October 1941. Peter notably changed his Gibson technique to anArt Nouveau-influenced cartooning style for the new series. In April 1942, he opened his own studio at 130 W. 42nd Street in Manhattan. In March 1944, the success of theWonder Womancomics and newspaper strip led to the opening of the Marston Art Studio at 331 Madison Avenue at 43rd Street.The fourteenth floor studio, one floor above Marston\'s office, was run by office executive Marjorie Wilkes Huntley, who also contributed some inking and lettering.Joye Hummelwent from being Marston\'s assistant to writing full scripts for the comic, the only other writer forWonder Womanduring theGolden Age. While Peter pencilled the stories, covers, and strips and inked the main figures, he was assisted by a series of female commercial artists who did background inking.The staff also included Helen Schepens as colorist, and Jim and Margaret Wroten as letterers,with some lettering done by daughter-in-law, Louise Marston.

Although Marston died in 1947, Peter continued withWonder Womanuntil his death in 1958. Marston and Peter were peers and supporters of thesuffragettesandfeministsof the early 20th century. Marston — an extended family member tobirth controlactivistsMargaret Sangerand Ethel Byrne — often wrote, lectured, and taught in favor of equality for women, and Peter and his wife Adonica Fulton often drew editorial cartoons in supportive magazines,such asJudge,which featured \"The Modern Woman\" page from 1912 to 1917.Marston stated that he felt the intention of their work was a \"psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who, I believe, should rule the world.\"

In 1972,Ms.magazine compiled a hardcover collection reprinting the Golden AgeWonder Womanstories of Marston and Peter.Gloria Steinemselected the stories and wrote of them, \"Wonder Woman symbolizes many of the values of the women\'s culture that Feminists are now trying to introduce into the mainstream: strength and self-reliance for women; sisterhood and mutual support among women; peacefulness and esteem for human life; a diminishment both of \'masculine\' aggression and of the belief that violence is the only way of solving conflicts.\"Wonder Womanwas also on the premiere issue cover ofMs. Magazine(January 1972) with the blurb \"Wonder Womanfor President\",a direct reference to the \"Wonder Woman For President\" cover ofWonder Woman#7 (Spring 1943) by Marston and Peter. This was repeated and updated for the 40th anniversary issue in 2012.During this influential period,DC Comicsalso returned Wonder Woman\'s costume, powers, andAmazonheritage in a focus closer to her 1940s beginnings.

The 1975 TV seriesThe New Adventures of Wonder Womanreflected theMs.book\'s influence directly, setting itself in the World War II era, and basing the animated opening credits on H.G. Peter panels reprinted in the collection.

Trina Robbinsbecame the first woman to officially draw Wonder Woman with her 1986 mini-series,The Legend of Wonder Woman. Its visual style and storytelling are a direct homage to H.G. Peter and Marston.

The cover toWonder Woman#184 (vol. 2, October, 2002) byAdam Hughesdepicts his modern Wonder Woman meeting the H.G. Peter Wonder Woman of the 1940s.

The bookThe Secret History of Wonder Woman(Knopf, 2014) by Harvard historian ProfessorJill Leporefeatured a panel ofWonder Womanby H.G. Peter on its cover.
