Wonder Woman: The complete Federal cover gallery

Here's a cover gallery of my complete run of Federal Comics' Wonder Woman:

Wonder Woman #1, c.December 1982 

Wonder Woman #2, c.July 1983 

Wonder Woman #3, c.July 1984 

Wonder Woman #4, c.January 1985 

Wonder Woman #5, c.March 1985 

Wonder Woman #6, c.June 1985 

Wonder Woman #7, c.September 1985 

Notes:
1. Wonder Woman #1 was published by Murray Publishers Pty. Ltd., not Federal Comics - however, the numbering for the Federal Comics series picks up from this issue.

2. The dates are accurate give or take a month.

3. Wonder Woman #'s 4-7 are full colour editions - the rest have black and white interiors.

4. There was also an unnumbered Wonder Woman Album published by Federal Comics c.March 1984:

Wonder Woman Album [#9] 

This is the ninth Wonder Woman Album if one counts the 1976-1978 Planet Comics/Murray Publishers series.

Hello! I'm doing research for a blog that hasn't gone live yet focusing on unpublished comics. Admittedly, I'm enough of an American chauvinist to mean "unpublished in America" when I say "unpublished." I've seen indications that various stories commissioned for American publishers but never actually published here did eventually see publication in other countries. Some of these, I've even found scans of. Even more intriguing are the cases of entirely new works using licensed American properties, only published abroad and never reprinted at home. Are there any Australian examples of either of these? Did Hart Amos ever get to draw an actual Superman story?

Hi Jono, That's a very interesting research project, and I know exactly the two types of stories you are looking for. I've logged a few samples of the first type you are seeking eg. Ghost Rider https://notesfromthejunkyard.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-unpublished-inventory-ghost-rider.html; The Monster Trilogy https://notesfromthejunkyard.blogspot.com/2007/04/maze-of-monsters-2-update-lost-simonson.html; and The Canticle of the Worm https://notesfromthejunkyard.blogspot.com/2020/01/pit-of-evil-11-tom-suttons-canticle-of.html.
There are more, but these are the ones that come to mind.
Hart Amos did not draw any Superman stories. I am unaware of any Australian artists working on non-canonical superhero stories of any prominence ala Superman, Batman and Spider-Man. Plenty of covers, as you will be aware, but not stories.
