I'm the tubular spacial.

There's a paperback collection version of Stardust and it rules.

There's now two of them, actually! Fletcher Hanks is amazing, his works sum up basically everything stupid and insane about superhero comics ad absurdum, with a complete lack of self awareness, right in the foundational years of the medium before any modern revisionist took ironic issue with the idea of godlike manchildren dealing ghoulish death to petty crooks.

Indeed, this is the whole point of Wonder Woman. The creator (the guy who invented the polygraph incidentally) was a slightly kooky psychologist who believed women should rule the world and that BDSM was a "noble practice" key to a healthy female sexuality.
