You could argue that Thomas was the less famous of a writing team, but Murchison's stories were solo.....

Mindy took over from Dan Mishkin, and wrote the book for a few issues leading up to CRISIS and the end of the series run. Gerry Conway wrote the final issue. Brief though Mindy's run was, she was the regular writer while she was there, not a fill-in writer. She was also the regular scripter of the next WONDER WOMAN series for a while, over George Perez's plots. But her brief 1985 stint is enough to get her the distinction. And if anyone's wondering, I think the first female regular writer for LOIS LANE stories was Tamsyn O'Flynn, a few year earlier. kdb While I’m looking forward to reading Gail’s WONDER WOMAN, and expect it to be a terrific and lengthy run, I’ll note that the first female “ongoing writer” for WONDER WOMAN was Mindy Newell, back in the mid-1980s.
