Christmas and the Golden Age go together so well, don’t they?
DC has three terrific Facsimile Editions planned for December — and that’s no joke.
Each deserves its own story and you can find info on the other two here and here.
In this case, it’s 1944’s Sensation Comics #38 — a Christmas-themed issue starring Wonder Woman (natch).
Dig the solicitation info, to be released officially later Friday:
SENSATION COMICS #38 FACSIMILE EDITION
Written by WILLIAM MOULTON MARSTON, W.W.D. SONES, M.C. GAINES, JACK MILLER, and BILL FINGER
Art by HARRY G. PETER, ALLEN SIMON, FRANK HARRY, JOHN JENKS, JON BLUMMER, and JOE GALLAGHER
Cover by HARRY G. PETER
Foil variant cover by HARRY G. PETER ($7.99 US)
Blank sketch cover ($5.99)
It’s the wheels of an invisible plane rather than reindeer hooves touching down on a lonely tenement rooftop when Wonder Woman stands in for Santa to bring joy to one unfortunate family for Christmas. Little does the astounding Amazon know this innocent holiday gesture will lead directly to her helping a gang of ruthless robbers steal a fortune in gold!
$4.99 US | 52 pages

Several thoughts:
— Hey, cool! A Golden Age Wonder Woman Facsimile Edition that isn’t Sensation Comics #1 (which hasn’t even gotten an FE yet) or Wonder Woman #1! Good on ya, DC!
— This makes for a great pairing with one of the other Facsimile Editions coming in December.
— Among the backups is a Wildcat adventure.
— Obligatory Price Comparison: An unslabbed, VG+ original recently sold on eBay for $1,052.

Honestly, look at the joy of this Wonder Woman compared to the stony-faced misery in the current main Wonder Woman book… I may have to buy several copies as gifts.
