Podcast: The Mystery of Nubia

By all indications, 2017 needs a podcast dedicated to Queen Hippolyta's  "second," "other," "dark" daughter who debuted on November 7, 1972 in Wonder Woman #204, so we're "Introducing Nubia!" The soul sister of the Amazing Amazon went on to appearances in Wonder Woman #205-206, including a solo back-up story, plus cameos in Supergirl #9 and The Super Friends #25 before vanishing from comics entirely for twenty years (and  actually closer to a quarter century if you discount a single page of  one of those comics.) Despite barely escaping 1973 in comics, Nubia  managed to make appearances on television and in toy form when that was  an extremely rare accomplishment, and her origin has a massive impact on  Wonder Woman's own. Nubia was a contender, and we argue that she still  matters 45 years later on this episode!


Nubia is one of the least heralded but most valuable creations of Robert  Kanigher, and possibly his single most important contribution across  twenty years as a writer/editor of the Amazing Amazon (depending on how  much credit you extend him on Wonder Girl.) The world is still waiting  for Nubia to be fully embraced as a key component of Amazonian lore! For  more on Nubia, check out my 2012 article on her, newly revised with fresh scans to replace the busted embeds Comicvine left me with.
