Harry George Peter (March 8, 1880[3] – January 2, 1958)[4] was an American newspaper illustrator and cartoonist known for his work on the Wonder Woman comic book and for Bud Fisher of the San Francisco Chronicle.

[8] His most lasting work came when the 61-year-old artist brought William Moulton Marston's Amazonian superheroine Wonder Woman to life on the pages of comic books (even though Peter went on to be uncredited in her creation) in October 1941.

In March 1944, the success of the Wonder Woman comics and newspaper strip led to the opening of the Marston Art Studio at 331 Madison Avenue at 43rd Street.

Joye Hummel went from being Marston's assistant to writing full scripts for the comic, the only other writer for Wonder Woman during the Golden Age.

Marston — an extended family member to birth control activists Margaret Sanger and Ethel Byrne — often wrote, lectured, and taught in favor of equality for women, and Peter and his wife Adonica Fulton often drew editorial cartoons in supportive magazines,[13] such as Judge,[14] which featured "The Modern Woman" page from 1912 to 1917.

[19] During this influential period, DC Comics also returned Wonder Woman's costume, powers, and Amazon heritage in a focus closer to her 1940s beginnings.

[20] The 1975 TV series The New Adventures of Wonder Woman reflected the Ms. book's influence directly, setting itself in the World War II era, and basing the animated opening credits on H.G.
