Well the first mission in Showcase Vol #1 at any rate.
Holy shit. Exciting stuff!
Let's face it this is on a par with Supergirl and the tree stump of Doom. To be fair though, the story does get a hell of a lot better, (it couldn't get any worse), escalating from a tussle with a faulty gum machine to an encounter with a giant hawk...
through a bizarre interlude where WW takes a somewhat suggestive ride on a polaris missile...
until finally...

these are the sorts of stories that make silver age comics so wonderful.
in the hands of bendis or ellis that tale would have taken 12 issues to tell, and wonder woman would have had sex and ripped the arms off of several people.
i know which i prefer.
I like golden, silver, bronze and modern comics. But yes, I agree silver age stories have a magical quality which is often missing from today's comics.
Yeah Yeah!
Stories like that, however wonderful and magical are sadly just fat, awkward, anachronisms nowadays.
Sheeet! This is the New Millenium. Check your magic, whimsies and innocence in at the door. Stuff like that symbolises an age and just like virginity, can never be regained...
Nuff Said.
BIG D
