If you needed a beacon of hope to look towards in 2021 then look no further than Diana Prince. This year Wonder Woman turns 80 years-old and DC Comics has launched a new campaign to celebrate the landmark occasion.
The “Believe In Wonder” campaign includes worldwide events, fan favourite digital content, expansive publishing releases, unveiling of new fashion collaborations with award-winning designers, must-see exhibits and amazing experiences all inspired by Diana and her legacy.
Embracing the call to see the world through Wonder Woman’s eyes and to “Believe in Wonder,” the 80th Anniversary celebration illuminates the Super Hero’s timeless and relevant message of hope and empowerment with original content, commemorative comics, books, and global fashion collections and experiences.
