Back in the '90s, comic trades weren't as common. Some of the earliest #WonderWoman trades collected issues by #WilliamMessnerLoebs & #MikeDeodatoJr. Thirty years later, #DCComics has collected over 600 issues of Wonder Woman in various formats. Fewer than 200 issues remain uncollected.

Journey #8 (Aardvark-Vanaheim). This panel really demonstrates how emotively William Messner-Loebs can render faces. Their emaciated sunken cheeks, wrinkly around the eyes, lack of distinction between skin and hair... fantastic. This works best in B&W, too. #comicsky #williammessnerloebs

Journey #7 (Aardvark-Vanaheim). While this cover doesn't do him justice, I really love the character of Wolverine MacAlistaire. He's usually rendered quite differently, though, in a way that suits him. But this here cover is fucking ugly. #comicsky #aardvarkvanaheim #williammessnerloebs

Journey #5 (Aardvark-Vanaheim). Two cute stories. As it reads on the back cover: "Counterrevolution and wind... lots and lots of wind." #comicsky #williammessnerloebs #aardarkvanaheim

Journey #4 (Aardvark-Vanaheim). Bummed I don't have #3, but I can get the gist of what I missed. William Messner-Loebs really is an excellent illustrator. This shot of Wolverine MacAlistaire taking a dump is particularly good. #comicsky #williammessnerloebs

Journey #2 (Aardvark-Vanaheim). Some mystery building. Now I need to find #3-7! This cover is absolutely gorgeous, too. Incredible colors. #aardvarkvanaheim #comicsky #williammessnerloebs

Journey #1 (Aardvark-Vanaheim). Only really knew William Messner-Loebs from The Maxx. Have been meaning to start this since diving into Cerebus. The first issue was fun! #williammessnerloebs #aardarkvanaheim #comicsky

WOLVERINE (MacAlistaire) for #indiecomicswednesday William Messner-Loebs' Journey: The Adventures of Wolverine MacAlistaire first seen in Cerebus #48 (1983). #buyornelasart #williammessnerloebs #aardvarkvanaheim

Every now and again, I think about Diana attempting to connect with children in the 90s issue of #DCRetroactive by #WilliamMessnerLoebs. #WonderWoman #DCComics
