Cool Comic Covers - Retroactive Wonder Woman

It's been about three months since I did a Cool Comic Covers, so I thought it was darn well time for another. In this installment I'm featuring the cover of DC Retroactive: Wonder Woman: The 70s #1 by artist Jason Bone.

For those who came in late, in the 60s DC decided that to ensure Wonder Woman would appeal to the modern, liberated woman she should become powerless and appear as more of an Emma Peel (of TV series The Avengers fame) type character. Due to being powerless she became the student of a master arts expert who was, in classic 60s style, oriental and blind. Her powers were restored of course, due to the populatiry of the 1976 Wonder Woman TV series staring Lynda Carter.

This art by Bone really captures that groovy 70s feel. His work is like a sexy version of a Disney animation and it fits that period of Wonder Woman's career perfectly.
