Wonder Woman Pin-Up by Neal Adams
I’m less of a fan of the Wonder Woman as warrior than I am of her original conception with bracelets she used to bounce bullets off of, and a Lasso of Truth that forced bad guys to own up to what they’d done. But, her popularity now is due in part to the current conception of her kicking butt while wielding a sword and shield.
So be it. This Neal Adams sketch has both toolsets and there’s a lot of lively, positive energy in this piece, and it gets my thumbs up.
