Wonder Woman #101
October 1958
Although I haven't rated any of these issues, this issue would get high marks for art and story. Pure SA fantasy at its best!
First story: "Undersea Trap!"
Second Story: "Fun House of Time!"

Wonder Woman #98
May 1958
Having read dozens of these stories now, other than the revamped origin element (I liked), the plots are not much different from what came before. Giant eagle, menacing fish, enemy sub attack (swapped for space aliens), lovestruck Steve Trevor (getting stale), magical conclusion for the sake of helping kids.
What set this issue apart from previous stories are two things. The 25 page format is more fluid then the previous 3 story format. The art is much improved. WW doesn’t feel like a static wood carved stencil. I like her straight hair vs. the old fashion curly doo.
The Kanigher\Andru\Esposito collaboration is off to a running start.

February 1958
Wonderful second cover of the Andru\Esposito team. However, the stories are more of the same.
Angle Man returns, as if he never got caught the last time.
Lovestuck Stevie has got it bad.
Wonder Woman also suffers from writers block.
The GA of WW death pains continue.
