Grant Morrison: 'Wonder Woman: Earth One a mother and daughter story'

Wonder Woman: Earth One will focus on the mother-daughter relationship between Hippolyta and Diana, according to writer Grant Morrison.

Illustrated by Yanick Paquette, the 120-page graphic novel is expected to offer a new take on the superhero theme by delving into Amazonian culture.

"I'm really focusing a lot more on the mother and daughter story in it between Hippolyta and Diana. I want it to be that kind of book, a story about women," he told USA Today.

"I grew up with my own mother and sister in the house, and it was watching that and the way women can tear each other apart and lift each other up at the same time. I wanted to do a little bit of my own experience with those characters."

Morrison went on to say that Wonder Woman: Earth One will offer a different take on the title character and be based around a trial.

"Diana's a lot more defiant in it and she's not sent to man's world - she runs away to it so there's a very different dynamic between her and Hippolyta, and the entire thing basically takes place around a trial," he added.

Published by DC Comics, Wonder Woman: Earth One is yet to be given a release date.
