Description

In addition to being the de facto matriarchs of their respective superhero universes, Ms. Marvel and Wonder Woman share at least one other "Common Element" -- both have backgrounds in the military. Carol (Ms. Marvel) Danvers is a colonel in the U.S. Air Force, while Wonder Woman, in her assumed guise as Diana Prince, spent World War II as a U.S. Army lieutenant.

Longtime Archie Comics artist, writer, and editor Dan Parent brought these two stalwart heroines together for the first-ever full-color Common Elements commission, created at WonderCon 2010. Is it just my imagination, or does Ms. Marvel bear an uncanny resemblance to a certain Betty Cooper? And doesn't Wonder Woman remind you ever so slightly of one Veronica Lodge?

Nah... must be a trick of the light.

This is Common Elements #89.

This piece is just too clever and cool for words. Kudos on another great "Common Elements" triumph.
