Hanging on my Studio wall is an original Neal Adams piece, from WITCHING HOUR, on which the deep cleavage of Miss Cynthia, the blonde witch, has been literally scratched off the page. Like, gouged out with a razor blade!
^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't normally promote violence but....

I had no idea John Byrne had no idea what John Byrne's art looks like. What
you learn!

Well, Chad, if you don't see my style in those eyes, that mouth, that square
jaw and arching eyebrows. . . I wonder what you DO see as my style!?
Did my smarmy comment on other people's incredulousness over your ability to recognize your style backfire on me, JB?
I was the one who recognized that Byrne mouth! I know a beautiful Byrne mouth when I see one!

I recently bought the 25th Anniversary G1 Optimus Prime, solely because i never had a transformer as a kid, and if one has to have one, this seemed like the one to get.

Yeah, that looks like JB's Hippolyta to me.
All of JB's run on Wonder Woman is still canonical, BTW, including Hippolyta as the Wonder Woman of the 1940s.

Since that was probably the second favorite thing I did during my time on
WW, I am glad to hear it has survived. Just fannish enough, I guess.
My most favorite thing, making Diana a goddess so no one could ever again
dispute that she was in the same power level as Superman -- well, that had
to go, of course. The ingrained misogyny up there could not let it stand.

JB,
Most of the gay men I know who LOVE Wonder Woman know her only through the television show. In a way it's sort of like the huge crushes straight boys developed on Lynda Carter. Except instead of lusting after her, a lot of young gay men idolized her. They loved her tremendous beauty and super powers. Now this alone doesn't explain "why" per se but, I think there is another more understandable reason: many young gay men loved that mousy, "weak" Diana Prince could spin and MAGICALLY transform into this incredible, beautiful, desired and/or admired by all super-heroine.
Until VERY recently, most young gay men don't get to be themselves growing up. They are in a kind of constant secret identity mode. When Diana Prince wants to be her "true" self for all the world to see, she just spins around and, quite fabulously mind you, transforms into all those wonderful things I alluded to in the previous paragraph.
Wonder Woman (in both comics and the TV show) was often portrayed as a potential "victim" of machismo and hyper-masculine males. They underestimated her, and in doing so often found themselves hurled ankles over ass (no pun intended) across the room. A lot of young gay men wish they had the ability to defend themselves from all the hurt they experience from their peers and no one did it better than WONDER WOMAN!
Now, why not Captain Marvel or Superman? I don't rightly know. I just know for me, that the bulk of support I received as a teen, despite being "different" -- came from girls, not boys. I think gay men never forget this sometimes sanity, even life saving kindness and so identify with women in many ways. I think this is fading among today's young people who have a lot of male and female friends who are supportive and like them despite being "different."
In many ways, the superhero for little girls, became the superhero for gay men.
