Manic Monday--The Diana Craze!!

A lot of you youngsters probably don't remember the Princess Diana craze that swept the nation back in the late 1980s!

Why, she was on Carson...

...and met the President!!

Her merchandise was everywhere!

She even got...

...her very own comic book!!

Of course, not everyone was so receptive...


You know, on a real world note, I was really surprised that there was none of this kind of reaction to the Thor movies. Let's hope that remains true in the forthcoming Wonder Woman movie...

Of course, there were lying tour posters, as well...

Yeah, right. This was no more her "Final U.S. Appearance" than that of any classic rock band's "Farewell Tour."

Oh, and for Zeus' sake--don't call that number. I'm not sure what, if anything, you'd have reached if you called it in 1987. But today...look, just trust me on this. NSFW X 25. Don't call it. Really. I'm serious.

From Wonder Woman #8 (1987)
