Description

Gene Colan delivers an outstanding splash in an offbeat story involving video-game mania. Well, it was 1982. Think Atari 2600. Only here, we have a cast-off villain --- General Electric — from Jack Kirby’s Sandman (I kid you not) who uses a kind of mass hypnosis… oh, never mind.

As mentioned previously, I’m a passionate fan of Gene’s work and picked up nearly everything he did at Marvel. By the time he jumped ship to DC I was less interested in superhero comics in general and paid little attention to his work on Wonder Woman. (Batman was another story, as I thought he was a great choice for the dark detective.)

Turns out it was a short but memorable run on WW (artistically at least) and Gene is actually responsible —under the direction of publisher Jeanette Kahn — for her very first major modern costume re-design, replacing the eagle on her chest with the “WW.” (Not including a brief stint in “mod” civilian attire in 1968- 1973.)

The exact new design may have been a work in progress, because the halter on this original has an art patch on it.
