How a Malaysian scientist got into DC comic book 'Wonder Women Of The World'


How Sarawakian artist Hanie Mohd ended up drawing a story about Malaysian scientist Professor Khatijah Mohamad Yusoff in a DC Comic’s graphic novel.

Not all heroes wear capes. So goes the tagline of Wonderful Women Of The World, an anthology of stories released in conjunction with the 80th anniversary of Wonder Woman, which celebrates real-life wonder women of the world.

According to a post on Inkspots, DC Comics’ official blog, the inspiration behind this book is a feature that ran in the back of DC’s Wonder Woman comics from 1942 to 1954, which highlighted powerful and innovative women from history.
