I'm actually more familiar with the Pre-Crisis version. The Moulton stories get to be repetitious in very short order, but the utter weirdness of the sexual content is always entertaining. As a kid, I found Will Elder's "Woman Wonder" reprinted in a Mad Magazine special and a coloring book based on the mole people story that appeared in WW 4. Very bizarre, and thoroughly in the Moulton tradition. Everything since that stuff seems somehow lacking... Not that I want WW to be the four-color answer to fetish mags, but really, what has anyone else ever brought to the strip that was as off-beat or loaded as the early stuff? Sekowsky gets points for coming closest on the "oddness" meter, though...
Pre-Crisis Wonder Woman.
And Adam Hughes' work is always a visual treat. I'm very much looking forward to his All-Star Wonder Woman.
I'm editing to add that I just looked over some back issues and the artists who best capture the definitive Wonder Woman for me are Jose Garcia Lopez and Dick Giordano.
