After the success of the Batman '66 comic book series, DC Comics began publishing a similar comic book series based on Wonder Woman's TV series in 2015. Writer Marc Andreyko specifically set out to use villains from Wonder Woman's "under-appreciated" rogues gallery in Wonder Woman '77, as the television series' limited budget did not allow for many of them.[3] This meant the comic series was able to use villains such as the Cheetah, the Silver Swan, and Doctor Psycho, while also incorporating villains from the television series and brand-new villains.
