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.

It must have been confusing for Wonder Woman fans to know when a new issue was going to be released in 1957. They would have to wait two months for this issue to be published. A glimpse of something new is here! The origin of Wonder Woman’s Eagle Costume!

Wonder Woman #89
April 1957

In retrospect, one may get the feeling that "The Master of Earth's Twin World" is a multiple earth prototype. It’s not. Just another vehicle for a childish GA fantasy.

In “The Amazon Album” more adolescent fantasy at work.

These late GA Wonder Woman issues comes in threes. In “The Triple Heroine”, dimwitted gangsters replaced by space aliens.

It’s hard not to be snarky. These stories are that bad.
