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.

Awesome Cover!
Peter’s last issue features not three stories, but a three part story.
Bob Kanigher is starting to bring his ‘A’ game with this issue.
Shared newsstand space with Lois Lane #1, Adventure Comics #247, and Showcase #13.

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.

January 1958
Another piece to the changing dynamics of Wonder Woman takes place this month. Cover is credited to both Ross Andru and Mike Esposito. I like the magenta Nuclear Exposition.
The SA WW team of Kanigher\Andru\Esposito have worked together as far back as October 1954 issue of Our Army at War #27
Wonder Woman becomes radioactive as stories of childish fantasies slowly give way to the nuclear nightmare.
Revealed is "The Secret of Wonder Woman's Tiara!", written by Robert Kanigher, with art by Harry G. Peter.

November1957
The popularity of the Superman TV show makes its presents felt in the opening Wonder Woman story.
Yet another unscrupulous hollywood producer resorts to trickery.
Duke Deception tries again to foil Wonder Woman.
