DC To Collect Trina Robbins And Kurt Busiek's Legends Of Wonder Woman, As Amazon Snubs Robbins

The collection includes a story from 1989's Wonder Woman Annual #2, Play Like, by Robbins and Lee Marrs, and Wonder Woman #318 by Busiek, Irv Novick, and Rick Magyar.

The lineup makes sense for a Busiek and Robbins centric book. However, Robbins, who was the first woman to draw Wonder Woman, and, more importantly, the inaugural inductee in the Wizard World Hall of Legends, is unfortunately snubbed in Amazon's listing for Wonder Woman: Forgotten Legends. That solicit reads a little bit differently than the one DC released today, naming only Kurt Busiek:
From comics legend Kurt Busiek, Wonder Woman's classic adventures are collected in WONDER WOMAN: FORGOTTEN LEGENDS.
Preparing to depart Paradise Island forever, Queen Hippolyta learns an untold tale of the legendary Amazon–the return of Atomia! Then Wonder Woman is transported to the 63rd century to save the Amazons from a race of pig-men who have inhabited their island, and from their abandonment of Aphrodite's ways. With surprise appearances by Batman, Black Canary, Changeling and Darkseid!
Collects THE LEGEND OF WONDER WOMAN #1-4 (1986), WONDER WOMAN #318, WONDER WOMAN ANNUAL #2, WONDER WOMAN GALLERY #1.
We're sure that's a situation they'll rectify soon. As you can see, Amazon also advertises the collection as including Wonder Woman Gallery #1, which is a pinup book produced in 1996. Here's a sample from there:
