Topic: Mr. Byrne....Q about Fearbook

When I was offered WONDER WOMAN there were a
lot of things that came immediately to mind -- not the
least of which being that I would have to be out of my
frigging mind to follow George Perez, even if it was
ten years later.
One of the actual story concepts that came to me,
tho, in the midst of my fear and trepidation, was to
wonder just how our Decent, God Fearing Nation
would respond to a woman who was walking around
claiming to have, you know, actually met the Greek
Gods. Bound not to sit too well with the Jerry
Falwells, I figured.
Unfortunately, this also seemed like a story that I
could not really handle properly in a monthly
superhero comic. (Hey! This was ten years ago!
Today, I know, I could do 200 pages of Wonder
Woman pacing her apartment worrying about all this.
Now that's comic books!) Then I was asked to
do the novel, and I realized that was a perfect place
to explore all the themes this idea suggested.
