The Wonder Woman all the Time thread

So here's a "Wonder Woman" neophyte question out of left field: there appears to be a shift in style where the "big eyelashes" Wonder Woman is replaced by a more modern image. Is this a shift in cover artists? Did the same artist do the covers for earlier Sensation Comics and Wonder Woman?

The early Wonder Womans and Sensations were drawn by her creator, HG Peters. Later other artists like Irwin Hasen, Irv Novick, and Ross Andru were brought in. The WW95 is by Andru who drew most of the covers from that point through the next 10 years.

Harry G Peters did the VERY early Sensations and the Wonder Womans...and Wonder Woman was reinvented several times...I think the biggest change was the no costume segment, but that was much later on...

Ah..sorry, I was typing while it was being answered:) I guess I always think of William Moulton Marston as her creator...I get a kick out of the Lie detector Cover...and reading about Moulton/Marston living with 2 women...

I was reading recently in the 365 Days of DC flip book that, at some point, Peters got behind and some other artist (can't recall the name) stepped in for at least one issue to give a breather to Peters and give him time to assemble a team of assistants. Anyone remember the artist's name?

I can't recall the artist either, but (as noted in the Guide) some early Sensations had WW stories not by Peter: 8, 17 thru 19, and 21.

 

Here's the 18:

Interesting and apparently controversial at GCD.

 

Cover credits from GCD:

 

8 says

Harry G. Peter (Pencils) Harry G. Peter (Inks) ? (Colors) ? (Letters)

 

17 and 19 say

Frank Godwin (Pencils) Frank Godwin (Inks) ? (Colors) ? (Letters)

 

Indexer notes:

credits by Jerry Bails;

 

18 says

Harry G. Peter [as H.G. Peter] (signed) (Pencils) Harry G. Peter [as H.G. Peter] (signed) (Inks) ? (Colors) ? (Letters)

Cover pencil and ink credit from Barry Sandoval (March 9, 2006). Cover pencil and ink credit originally given to Frank Godwin. H. G. Peters signature can be seen in the extreme lower left corner of the cover.

 

21 says

Harry G. Peter (Pencils) Harry G. Peter (Inks)

 

but as you said, Godwin gets story pencil/ink credits on 17-19 and 21 (but not 8)

That's the last time I ever let you borrow my Secret Decoder Ring!

Thanks for the research, Jack - does anyone have Sensation 8 to check the interior story?

"...in this upset world of men!"

Haw! I don't suppose you ever feel that way on these boards.

 

I could easily believe that's not H G Peter -- not "baroque" enough -- but couldn't pick Godwin out of a line-up.

 

Thanks for scanning and posting. Now to get it back in that danged slab.

 

Jack

(notice that he didn't ask me to pull out MY copy of Sensation 8)

Hope this helps, I don't see anything, although there are names on the other stories, not this one...
