About this Item

[Feminism][Comics] Wonder Woman No. 179. New York: National Periodical Publications, November-December 1968. First printing. Full-color interior comic panels throughout. Original staple-bound pictorial wrappers with red and orange burst design behind a dramatically reimagined Wonder Woman. A watershed moment in comic book history, this issue marks the beginning of Diana Prince's controversial "powerless" era-one that divided fans and feminist critics alike for decades. It is the first to depict Wonder Woman without her Amazonian powers, recasting her as a martial arts-trained, independent adventurer who relinquishes her costume, her homeland, and her divine gifts to remain in the mortal world and aid those in need. In this issue, titled It's Goodbye to the Past For. The New Wonder Woman!, Diana voluntarily renounces her powers to remain with the exiled Steve Trevor, accused of treason. The decision signifies a pivotal identity shift: Wonder Woman trades mythological might for mortal resilience, training in hand-to-hand combat under a mysterious Asian mentor after a terrorist attack by agents of the villainous Dr. Cyber. Far from diminishing her stature, Diana's transition redefines heroism: her courage, loyalty, and self-discipline emerge as her greatest strengths, not her divine birthright. Panels emphasize Diana's tenacity-grinding rice to toughen her hands, sparring in martial arts, and confronting espionage and militarism head-on. Visually and narratively, this issue underscores her feminist evolution into a modern heroine who triumphs through intellect, moral clarity, and physical training, not just superhuman power. Light wear to spine, interior vibrant and clear. Binding tight. Overall very good condition. This landmark issue-marking the beginning of the "mod era" Wonder Woman, a key evolution of feminist representation in superhero narratives.
