Wonder Woman #170

Wonder Woman #170, cover-dated May 1967, emerged during the Silver Age of comic books at a time when the series was undergoing significant creative shifts. This issue is part of the era often referred to as the 'mod' period, where the character's costume and tone began to reflect contemporary trends of the late 1960s. The narrative was designed to keep the long-running title relevant as editorial oversight experimented with different genres, ranging from mythological adventures to espionage-themed plotlines.

The cover and interior work for this period were influenced by the evolving style of DC artists tasked with bridging the gap between traditional superhero tropes and the changing cultural landscape. While not as historically volatile as the later 'Diana Prince' reboot that would follow shortly thereafter, this issue represents a transitional moment for the Amazonian princess. Collectors often seek out this period to document the stylistic evolution of the character before her major thematic restructuring in the subsequent years.
