General Sam Tolliver

A military man moving in rarefied circles, General Sam Tolliver stepped onto the page in 1987's Wonder Woman #3, brought to life by the legendary George Pérez and Len Wein during their celebrated Copper Age reinvention of the Amazon princess. His world is one of brass and authority, sharing panels with Wonder Woman herself alongside fellow military figures like General John Hillary and Colonel Matthew Michaelis, as well as familiar faces like Julia Kapatelis and Lt. Etta Candy. A supporting presence in DC's landmark Wonder Woman run, Tolliver is a small but genuine thread in one of comics' most beloved relaunches — a reminder that even the background figures of a great era carry a certain distinction.
