'Wonder Woman' #750: Gail Simone confirms the return of fan-favorite character Star Blossom
It may not be the day you have her action figure, but fans of Star Blossom can see her return in the pages of 'Wonder Woman' #750, according to a tweet by her co-creator, Gail Simone.
Peony McGill, otherwise known as the hero Star Blossom, first appeared in a short story entitled 'Big Things One Day Come' in the 'Wonder Woman 75th Anniversary Special' written by Gail Simone and drawn by Colleen Doran. She is a young girl who recently came into her powers, being given a certain amount of control over plant life. She aided Wonder Woman in a fight with the Kryptonite-powered gorilla, Titano. Star Blossom sought wisdom from Wonder Woman about her superhero career. She received the Amazonian superhero's blessing after Wonder Woman confirmed Star Blossom's heroic intent with the Lasso of Truth.
The story resonated powerfully with fans, and the specific pages of story have been shared, and reshared throughout the internet ever since its release. The story marked Star Blossom's only appearance in the DC universe, and fans have been clamoring for her return.
'Wonder Woman' #750 releases later this month. The milestone issue will feature a plethora of writers, and artists contributing stories to the 96 pages celebration of one of DC's most iconic characters. Earlier today, Gail Simone confirmed that she and Colleen Doran would be collaborating to tell another Star Blossom story in the issue, much to the delight of Star Blossom's many fans. She shared an image from the special of Wonder Woman and Star Blossom taking flight together.
So, no big deal, but my story with the brilliant @colleendoran for the WONDER WOMAN #750 spectacular only features the most requested returns in recent history, STAR-BLOSSOM.
