historic new origin; first Andru/Esposito in title
Highest GradedIssue #98 of Wonder Woman is a major moment in the mythos of the character, with the arrival of new artists Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, Princess Diana is partially reinvented and provided with a fresh start. The featured cover story presents Diana in a competition to determine the champion of Paradise Island. First, battling warriors disguised as herself to avoid any prejudices on her mother's behalf, as she is the judge of this competition. The rest of the issue focuses on the Amazon's attempt to convert a solitary penny into a million dollars. Despite a myriad of distractions, she achieves the feat, proving herself worthy to represent her people as a defender of good in the outside world.
This CGC 8.0 copy is one of three highest-graded examples on the census, as copies of Wonder Woman in good condition from this era are incredibly scarce. The book is sturdy, bright, and clean.
Overstreet Guide 2018 VF (8.0) value = $2,600.
