EXCLUSIVE — DC’s fifth GA-size Facsimile…
March’s 1942 Wonder Woman #1 Facsimile Edition will be in Golden Age size, joining previous, similar DC releases such as Action Comics #1, Superman #1, Detective Comics #27 and Batman #1.
The issue, which was released in standard, modern dimensions in 2023, was originally listed with those same measurements but word came this week that it will indeed be in the larger format.
As a reminder, here’s the official solicitation:

A few thoughts:
— The prices above are not changing. Those are typical for Golden Age-size reprints. But word around Themyscira is the GA size wasn’t confirmed until this week.
— Golden Age comics are usually about 7.75″ x 10.5″. Modern Age books are roughly 6.625″ x 10.25″. There can be slight discrepancies, though.
— Obligatory Price Comparison. An unslabbed original Wonder Woman #1 is pretty much impossible to find. An 8.0 slabbed copy sold for $120,000, including buyer’s premium through Heritage Auctions in 2020. The 2023 Facsimile Edition will run you about $8. (There were foil and logo sketch covers too.)
