Thank Hera this ugly logo only lasted two years.

You know what, I think Crimson Centipede was actually an inspired idea. Would love to see more of him.

Based on the little I’ve read, I’m no fan of the Mod Era, but the art/covers are striking.

(I personally love the cover of WW 179 with the open door as Diana runs away from her childhood, so this is my way of sneaking it in)

Man I love this cover so much! The Horror movie vibes at the time were fantastic. I wish Dr Cyber still had this visual impact.

This cover reminds me that the Mike Sekowski era is when Bondage made a big comeback. But I don't think it had the same symbolism as the Marston era (from the little I've read of the 70s)

1969:

Mike Sekowski reused that template so many times. Diana is standing in the middle of the cover, looking scared, and we see the shadow of someone standing just out of sight, behind us. (Sometimes we ourselves were looking through the eyes of those mysterious villains)

Half the time those covers also had a gun right in front of us pointed at her. Robert Kanigher even did the same thing when he came back.

Oh man, what a horrible year for WW Covers, we could skip to the good part? :P

Oh so there actually is a precedent to Diana grabbing bolts of lightning with her Lasso. Wow. That's a deep cut.

Travis Moore made an homage to this cover earlier this year with Wonder Woman #771
