The Jill Thompson article, written by Christopher Borrelli, that we
previously mentioned will finally be seen in print on the Sunday Edition
of the Chicago Tribune (02 July 2017) newspaper. Thanks to pressreader.com
for providing the cover and finalized article, with a different title,
"Chicago Artist Breathed Life Into Wonder Woman" (as seen on the cover
page).
Here is another excerpt:
Not until "Sandman" in the early '90s did she feel recognized for her work.
"This
is an embarrassing story," [Neil] Gaiman said, "but I was signing comics in
San Diego, and this fan brought me a picture of (his character) Death
that Jill had drawn for her. I had to find her, and that afternoon Jill
was in my signing line, and I said I saw her drawing and asked if she
was interested in working on 'Sandman' and she thought I was toying with
her, and so I called Karen and asked if we could spring her from Wonder
Woman."
Chicagoan
Jill Thompson has been a longtime artist for DC Comics and is one of
the first women to make a name in this once-male-dominated industry. She
has also been one of the artists behind “Wonder Woman” comics. (Phil
Velasquez/Chicago Tribune)
Excerpt:
She found herself as the artist to DC writer/artist George Perez, whose
take on Wonder Woman in the late 1980s would set much of the tone and
mythology associated with the character since. He approached Wonder
Woman as a sort of utopian feminist-warrior ideal. He underlined her
connection with the gods, and provided depth to her island paradise of
Themyscira. Nevertheless, though Thompson was hired by DC editor Karen
Berger, Wonder Woman comics at the time were still written and drawn
entirely by men.
"I remember people telling me then how important it was for a woman to
draw a monthly book," she said, "but I also remember, the first time I
spoke on the phone with George, my body blushed I was so nervous — I
remember that I sweated right through my shirt."
Thompson, who had grown up as a devoted comics reader — and who at 50
now says she never seriously considered doing anything but drawing comic
books for a living — revered major-league names like Perez. She just
wasn't much of a Wonder Woman fan.
Not at first.

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I was that you
allowed me to document your adventures, and it is with great sadness
that I must now announce my retirement from the ‘Wonder Woman’ series.
I’ve learned a lot these past few years and I’d like to think
that I’m a better person for having followed your adventures and hope
that I did your exploits justice. As so often happens in life, it’s time
to move on to start working on that next chapter in the book of life (a
recurring image you’ll notice in my final issue). …
Well, that’s it for me. I’m glad your current troubles are
over and hope your future will prove less hazardous. In your line of
work I know that seems unlikely, but there’s no harm in hoping.
Take care, Princess Diana. And as they say over on Themyscira: the Glory of Gaea be with you.
When I was offered WONDER WOMAN there were a
lot of things that came immediately to mind -- not the
least of which being that I would have to be out of my
frigging mind to follow George Perez, even if it was
ten years later.
One of the actual story concepts that came to me,
tho, in the midst of my fear and trepidation, was to
wonder just how our Decent, God Fearing Nation
would respond to a woman who was walking around
claiming to have, you know, actually met the Greek
Gods. Bound not to sit too well with the Jerry
Falwells, I figured.
Unfortunately, this also seemed like a story that I
could not really handle properly in a monthly
superhero comic. (Hey! This was ten years ago!
Today, I know, I could do 200 pages of Wonder
Woman pacing her apartment worrying about all this.
Now that's comic books!) Then I was asked to
do the novel, and I realized that was a perfect place
to explore all the themes this idea suggested.
