When it comes to the halls of academia, comic books have come a long way from the days when our grandparents used to do the old "hide the funnybook inside your arithmetic text book" trick. These days, there are college-level courses that study the story structures of some of comics' most acclaimed series, and, in the case of Vicki Lewis -- who provides her vocal talents to DC's direct-to-DVD animated feature "Wonder Woman" -- comics were a way of going back to school.

"I’ll be honest, I knew nothing about the mythology of any of this," said Lewis of her character, Persephone. "I got the script, and oftentimes I just kind of look at my part, but this is a fascinating story. I ended up spending half a night on Wikipedia going through the real mythology of the character. Persephone is a very fascinating character in Greek mythology and the comic books. I wasn’t a great student, so I love any opportunity at my age to learn something new. So that’s how I prepared."

After the jump, we've got more from Lewis on her role as Persephone, as well as another all-new image from the upcoming DVD, "Wonder Woman." Read More...
