Wonder Woman
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Wonder Woman is a 2017 ten-color screen print on hand-torn archival paper, editioned to 100 at 47 x 34 inches. Released to coincide with the Wonder Woman film, it opened Mr. Brainwash's superhero series, rendering the DC heroine in his dense, multi-layered pop style on one of his larger sheets.
Collector notes: Edition of 100 according to the saved release record. The saved release record describes: signed; numbered; artist thumbprint on the reverse. Verify each feature on the physical copy.
Why It Matters
As the inaugural print of the superhero series that Justice League later continued, Wonder Woman carries first-in-series significance. Its release was timed to a major cultural film event, and the ten-color process plus large format mark it as an ambitious studio production. The edition of 100 keeps it within reach for series collectors.
Collector Perspective
Collectors building MBW's superhero run should treat this as the anchor piece; it pairs directly with Justice League. The large 47 x 34 sheet requires careful framing and handling—inspect for creases and clean torn edges. Confirm signature, numbering, and the reverse thumbprint.
Historical Context
The 2017 Wonder Woman film was a cultural touchstone, and Mr. Brainwash timed this print to that moment, extending his pattern of tying editions to pop-culture events. The superhero theme let him apply his appropriative, celebratory method to comic-book iconography at large scale.
