The (not so) Original WONDER MAN!

Here is the first and only appearance of the first hero to wear the name Wonder Man!!!
Unfortunately, it's scanned from microfiche, which never gives a really clear picture. And the microfiche people scanned it from a low-grade copy, so it's equally thrashed. But you can still get the general idea!!

DC thought that Wonder Man was a little to "Super" for their tastes and sued Fox to cease publication of Wonder Man. They won. Check out a side-by-side comparison of Wonder Man and Superman!

But wait there's more! On the last page, Wonder Man offers you a chance to win his ring!! The people over at Scoop (Where the Magic of Collecting Comes to Life!) have a picture of what has been accepted by collectors to be the Wonder Man ring!!! Go check it out!!
