Shannon Hale: It was important to us that 11-year-old Diana is a kid. What qualities does the 11-year-old Diana share with the adult Wonder Woman? And in what important ways is she different? That maybe they could see greatness in themselves and who they might eventually become too. So, a graphic novel for young readers starring a young Wonder Woman? Win-win!ĭean Hale: I wanted young readers to be able to see themselves in Diana, all the while knowing who she grows up to be. I love graphic novels in general and have seen what a huge difference graphic novels have made in turning so many kids into readers. I’ve been a fan since I was a kid running around in Wonder Woman underoos until now as I drive my mom minivan with a large gold Wonder Woman emblem on hood.
Shannon Hale: Wonder Woman is obviously aspirational. What was important to you in telling a story for young readers with the character?
Wonder Woman obviously means a lot to people of all ages all over the world. But when things take a surprising turn, she learns that when you literally make new friends, you should be very careful what you wish for.ĭC Nation talked to Shannon Hale and Dean Hale-the team behind the Rapunzel's Revenge and Princess in Black book series-about Diana: Princess of the Amazons, the latest DC graphic novel for kids, and what young Diana has in common with the adult Wonder Woman. It turns out Themyscira can be a pretty lonely place when you’re the only kid around, and longing for a friend of her own, Diana soon takes matters into her own hands. In Diana: Princess of the Amazons, writers Shannon Hale and Dean Hale and artist Victoria Ying tell the story of an 11-year-old Diana before she was Wonder Woman.
