tabcom Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Yeah, kinda odd. I guess when your target audience is about 12, 22 is 'old'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabcom Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Wonder Woman #102 November 1958 Continuing with the SA mythos of love\marriage, fantasy\adventure, multiple WWs, and olympian feats of valor. No big bird talons this issue. Edited March 24, 2017 by tabcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Andru & Esposito have finally gotten Wonder Woman's face consistently right by this point, but they only get her body right on occasion. She's still too hippy and flat-chested in most panels. The panel below is a place where they do get her body right: Edited March 3, 2017 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabcom Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Wonder Woman #106 May 1959 Popular theme was olympic events to save humanity against overwhelming odds. This story line was used countless times for good effect. Giant bird talons was a crowd pleaser. The Wonder Girl stories showed promise as a backup feature.

tabcom Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Wonder Woman #108 August 1959 I love this issue on several levels. The 'caught in the headlights' shot is classic. The reinterpretation of the shot is not only done on the splash page, but in the story. The story line has been used before, but not to perfection as it is done here. The postage stamp backup story has a 2017 tie-in. You will have to read the rest of the story to figure out how Wonder Woman saves Earth. Anyone else but me buy a set of these postage stamps?

tabcom Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Wonder Woman #109October 1959 When I first started reading these stories a few months back, I was confused if Wonder Girl was more similar to Superboy or Kid Flash. Like her Superboy counterpart, Wonder Girl is the teenage version of Wonder Woman. An unanswered question is, 'why doesn't Queen Hippolyte age?' Well worn storyline used again with satisfying results. Make mine Natalie Wood. Edited May 6, 2017 by tabcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabcom Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Wonder Woman #110November 1959 This issue has it all. Alien invasion, siren song femme fatale, goddess worshiping natives, robots, and yet another loyalty test for the Colonel. Another long lost classic of the DC Silver Age.

That demographic shift started to have an effect on the quality of comics DC was releasing. But what kind of effect on the quality of the comics DC was releasing? I see that Wonder Woman was attractively drawn with her tiara under her flowing hair on the cover of issue #104 but on the inside pages her tiara is over the much curlier hair she's portrayed as having. Moreover on the inside she's drawn not that much better than she was in H.G. Peter's stylized, old-fashioned work. I've heard that editor Robert Kanigher told artists Ross Andru and Mike Esposito to tone Wonder Woman's sexiness right down and make her more the androgynous character she'd been when H.G. Peter was handling the title's artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
