I love your copy of WW #108. I also have a copy that I sumbitted to CGC and came back a 9.2. Needless to say I was extremely happy with the grade. However, I believe this is a grey-tone cover, but CGC does not note that and neither does, to my recollection, the OSPG. What are your thoughts and your copy is IMHO also very high grade. Looks to me a 9.0 or higher though it's hard to tell from a scan. Great book!! A classic to be sure!

Personally I think the artwork on the cover of Wonder Woman 108 is hideously bad, so much so that #108 is my lowest priority of the Silver Age run.

 

:tonofbricks:

I have to agree. Diana's face looks much too cartoony here -- a stark contrast to the lovely and highly detailed inset illustration of Diana on the cover of #107.

I just had my 108 graded. It came back 8.0 off-white to white.

 

I go through fads on this cover. Some days I love it and some days I hate it. One thing for sure is that it stands out from the rest of the run besides 199 and 200.

I still think that Diana had the hottest mom in comics!!

Nice monster cover.

Poor Wonder Girl...she can only go to the dance with a bird boy or a fish boy. Either way, I bet they both smell really bad!

Everytime I see the Wonder Girl from this time frame it blows me away how DC went from her to:

What was DC thinking? :screwy:

 

I am also astounded at putting such a goofy looking "hero" on the cover.

I agree. I'd say editorial oversight was lacking. The editor should have tossed that illustration back to Nick Cardy and told him to redraw Wonder Girl to look the way Ross Andru had been portraying her for years. Wonder Girl went from looking hot and sexy to dumb and goofy with a few quick strokes of Cardy's pencil.

 

:eek:

I agree! And I love all three of the covers you posted.

Again, then why doesn't CGC or OSPG note that the cover is a grey tone???

I suspect that the answer is that being human they miss some things.

Here are scans of three more of my Wonder Woman issues:

The #141 is the first Wonder Woman book I ever bought and so has a special place in my heart.

Fifth floor...stockings, girdles, ladies under-things and ... DINOSAURS!

WW_148.jpg

 

Another volcano monster...but still a very "cool" dynamic cover!

WW_149.jpg

 

Poor Wonder Girl, no wonder she fell so hard for Steve...the only "men" on Paradise Island were those goofy bird and fish man-imals.

And given the sign toys too! Sounds like a well stocked department store to me.

And it may also explain why the Donna Troy variant of Wonder Girl ended up swooning over some bearded, sensitive, aging hippie type. He must have been dreamy compared with the dates she was getting around Paradise Island.

Guys,

 

If I wasn't spending money on war books that I should really be spending on food and shoes for the kids, I would be spending all my money on 10 and 12 cent Wonder Woman books in grade.

 

They're just cooler than hell...

And the title goes to...WONDER GIRL!

WW_151.jpg

 

Teenage Diana must have been a big hit with the readers, so much so that she squeezed her older self off the cover!

Poor Wonder Girl, she woke up on the wrong side this morning (of her face, that is!)

Steve...where are you???

Look how hot the other Amazons look compared to Wonder Woman! DC was still demanding that Ross Andru draw Wonder Woman to look as boxy and unsexy as possible.
