Who was H. G. Peter?
Harry George Peter was a newspaper illustrator and cartoonist known for his work on the Wonder Woman comic book.
Born in California, Peter was a long-time resident in San Francisco.
His first work for comic books was through Lloyd Jacquet's comic shop, Funnies, Inc., where he illustrated such features as the biography of General George Marshall in True Comics #4.
His most lasting work came when the 61-year-old artist brought William Moulton Marston's Amazonian superheroine Wonder Woman to comic book pages. In April 1942, he opened his own studio at 130 W. 42nd Street in Manhattan. Peter continued with Wonder Woman until his death in 1958.
