It was the adventures of Hippolyta, Wonder Woman, Wonder Girl, and Wonder Tot. And since this was before Donna Troy, those last three were THE SAME PERSON. All thanks to a mishap with an enchanted scrapbook.<BR/><BR/>Now you'd think this was perfectly acceptable for a one-off "imaginary story." But they did Wonder Family like every third issue.

I think he was even the insane genius behind GI Robot.<BR/><BR/>(Look, a robot soldier is obvious. Give that robot soldier a robot dog, and that's cool.
