How to Cite a Wonder Woman Comic Book (1) She’s fierce, she’s powerful, she’s a skillful fighter, she’s…..WONDER WOMAN! Wonder Woman is the newest DC Comics superhero to make it to the big screen and with over $435 million in box office sales after the first two weeks, let’s just say that she’s kind of a big deal. If you’ve caught the Wonder Woman buzz and you’d like to use her comic books, or any other characters’ comic books in your own projects, follow the following steps to cite them correctly. We have instructions on how to cite your comic book either in print or digitally, and in MLA format, APA format, or Chicago format. To cite a comic book in print, find the following pieces of information: 1. The author’s name 2. The title of the comic book issue 3. The title of the comic book series 4. The volume and issue number 5. The name of the publisher 6. City and state, or city and country of publisher 7. Year published 8. A page or page range (if citing only a specific portion of the comic book) To cite a Wonder Woman comic or another comic book in print MLA 8, follow this format: Author’s Last name, First name. “Title of Comic Book Issue.” Title of Comic Book Series, vol. number, issue no., Name of Publisher, Year published, p. or pp. range. Here’s an example of how to cite a Wonder Woman comic book found in print in MLA 8: Azzarello, Brian. Wonder Woman. No. 1, DC Comics, 2011. *Note that this specific issue of Wonder Woman does not have a separate title for the issue and another title for the series. This issue and series are both titled as Wonder Woman. When the issue and the series have the same exact title, it is not necessary to type out both titles, only include the series title. In MLA citations, place a period after the first title and a comma after the second title, if there is one.
