Glamour Girl: After WWII, Wonder Woman’s image was softened. Her robust 1940’s figure (top left) became slimmer (top right). Her handsome features were given a Hollywood starlet polish (bottom, left to right)
Love In The Air: In the 50’s, romance comics were considered more appropriate than adventure stories for girls. Many of Wonder Woman’s stories moved away from battling fantastic foes, and more toward her relationship with Steve Trevor.
Under Attack: In the 50’s, Wonder Woman constantly had to contend with protecting her secret identity, defending her title from an army of impostors, or keeping her bothersome boyfriend Steve safe and happy.
Girlish Glee: Wonder Woman faces a new conservative decade and contemplates a new look, 1950.
