Wonder Woman #117

Wonder Woman issue 117 was published in October 1960 during the Silver Age of comic books. At this stage in the character's publication history, the series was heavily influenced by the science-fiction trends of the era, moving away from the mythological roots established by William Moulton Marston to embrace interplanetary adventures and futuristic concepts. This shift reflected the broader editorial direction of DC Comics as they experimented with higher-concept storytelling under the guidance of editor Robert Kanigher.

The issue features artwork by long-time series illustrator Ross Andru and inker Mike Esposito, who were instrumental in defining the visual aesthetic of the Amazon princess during the late 1950s and 1960s. Their collaboration is noted for introducing a more dynamic, cinematic quality to the page layouts. The story, written by Robert Kanigher, continues the series' established narrative arc of that period, focusing on Wonder Woman's interactions with various space-faring threats and her evolving role within the Justice League era of DC continuity.
