Wonder Woman #109

Wonder Woman issue 109 was published by DC Comics in October 1959. This period in the character's history falls during the late Silver Age, a time when the mythos surrounding the Amazonian princess began to shift toward more science-fiction-inspired narratives. The issue was written by Robert Kanigher, a prolific editor and writer who was instrumental in shaping the tone of the series for several decades, and features the quintessential art of Ross Andru and Mike Esposito.

The cover and interior stories from this era reflect the editorial direction of the time, often focusing on whimsical or fantastical challenges that diverted from the war-time roots of the character. Ross Andru’s clean, dynamic linework, paired with Esposito's distinct inks, helped define the visual standard for the series during the late 1950s. While historical reception of individual mid-run issues was generally quiet, the work of this creative team is now regarded as a definitive example of the aesthetic that bridged the gap between the golden age origins and the more modernized reinventions that would follow in subsequent years.
