Wonder Woman #168

Wonder Woman issue 168, published in February 1967, arrived during the period often referred to by comic historians as the 'mod' era of the character. Under the editorial guidance of DC Comics, this mid-sixties phase saw Wonder Woman move away from her traditional wartime themes toward more contemporary, sometimes experimental storytelling. The narrative in this issue reflects the publisher's attempts to stay relevant to younger readers during a rapidly shifting cultural landscape, blending classic superhero tropes with the evolving aesthetic standards of the late 1960s.

The cover and interior work from this era involved a rotating creative team typical of the Silver Age of comics, with Ross Andru and Mike Esposito providing the foundational art that defined the look of the series for many years. Their approach emphasized dynamic layouts and character-driven sequences, which were intended to ground the mythological elements of Diana's world in a more fast-paced, modern comic book style. While not considered a landmark issue in terms of major character changes, it remains a representative example of the visual and narrative style that defined the franchise before the dramatic 'Diana Prince: Wonder Woman' reboot that would arrive shortly thereafter.
