Tom King Bringing Back Hard Candy To Wonder Woman Continuity
Tom King reintroduces Etta Candy’s ranch-owning family history in upcoming Wonder Woman issues
Hard Candy, Etta’s father from the 1940s comics, will be referenced for the first time in decades
Speculation grows about the possible return of Hard Candy and Sugar Candy to Wonder Woman lore
Modern Wonder Woman arcs by Tom King blend golden age continuity with new character developments
n the 1940s, the Wonder Woman comic introduced the character to a sidekick, Etta Candy. And Etta, for a time, had a fleshed-out family, one that owned a cattle ranch. Etta Candy's father, created by William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peter for Sensation Comics in 1943, was given the name Hard Candy.
The character appeared several times over the forties, but didn't make the move into the Silver Age, even as those stories were moved over to Earth-2. And by the time of the Crisis of Infinite Earths, it was all wiped away anyway. When Etta Candy returned, she had been modernised, slimmed down, and had changed her race. And there was no mention of any family, or any ranch, even when the old continuities were returned by DC Rebirth.
Bleeding Cool understands that in upcoming issues of Wonder Woman by Tom King and Daniel Sampere, while Hard Candy won't be returning, he will be mentioned, as well as Etta Candy's family ranch and Wonder Woman's history with it all…
Is this a precursor to the return of Hard Candy, and maybe her mother Sugar Candy, as well as the whole Candy Ranch to a full-blown reappearance? And will he be transformed as much as Etta Candy was?
