I'm really torn on these - I can't decide how I feel about some of the pictures' hypersexualization or others almost masculine qualities. Is there anyway that Wonder Woman (or cartoon females in general) can be drawn without overemphasizing and making it all about tits and ass (like Hardin's), but then also not swinging too far the other direction and making it a slovenly, unappealing picture (Bradshaw)?

I think the one I prefer the most right now is Sam Kennedy's... but even there Wonder Woman is holding her fists, ready for a fight. Can cartoon images of women fit elsewhere in the genre's dichotomy, exemplified in Disney's Robin Hood - the attractive Maid Marion or the fat, funny, ass kicking Lady Cluck?

In the realm of superheros, men's features are also over-emphasized. Big pecs, burly biceps, giant legs and still thin through utility belt. I like the Kennedy, and Wonder Woman, you know, beat people up, so I don't have a problem with her fists being raised. A drawing of someone other than wonder woman maybe you could have that critique.

Well, to be fair, Wonder Woman never would have left Paradise Island if it weren't for the express purpose of kicking the Nazis' asses.

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.

All the world’s waiting for you, and the power you possess.

In your satin tights, fighting for your rights

And the old Red, White and Blue.

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.

Now the world is ready for you and the wonders you can do.

Make a hawk a dove, stop a war with love, make a liar tell the truth.

Wonder Woman, get us out from under, Wonder Woman.

All our hopes are pinned on you and the magic that you do.

Stop a bullet cold, make the Axis fold,

Change their minds, and change the world.

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman. You’re a wonder, Wonder Woman.

My fav is Michelle Gorskey's with Paul Conrad's being a close second. Anyone else notice that there's one woman and everyone else is a guy?! (Cameron could go either way so I didn't count him/her.) I think that almost says more than the pictures.

Very few of these seemed to capture what I feel to be the true essence of WW-someone who is strong on the inside and cares more about peace and helping than being a sex symbol or avenging past wrongs. I've been reading Wonder Woman comic books for five years because she cares more about helping people than fighting villains.

Michelle Gorski drew a very nice WW, as did Cameron Blackwell, Sam Kennedy, and Kent Culotta.

In the interest of full disclosure, Diana did kill a dude two summers ago. 180-degree necksnap broadcast live, globally. Conflict is the heart of all drama, superhero physique is by definition an unreachable ideal for both genders, etc. I liked the Jeff Darrow (not to be confused, I'm sure, with Geoff Darrow)--I think WW's at her best when tackling moral amiguities--"should I kill this dude who's mind-controlling Superman?" and the art that captures that is the most striking. Relatedly, though ultimately unconnected to my affection for the character, My preschool sex-ed came in the form of linda carter spinning in place. I'm a go youtube that...

Oh please, the character of wonder woman was a good one, maybe twenty years ago, but for some reason the writers for the past 15 years have made her celibate! Why? Because there is no possible way for a woman who is super strong/ able to fly/ etc would land a guy (Insert scarcasm). Or is she a lesbien (there's nothing wrong with that in my view, but her being straight would be a bigger novelty)- jeez this woman is strong....like a guy, so I guess she like women like guys too, huh....

I really like Michelle Gorski's, in part because it's the one that looks most like it would appear in a comic book (well, a non-misogynistic comic book, as all of the canon interpretations I've seen of WW recently have her practically in a thong). I also like Cameron Blackwell's and Sam Kennedy's. I, however, HATE Beau Hawkins' interpretation. Hi, Wonder Woman isn't a Playboy Pinup model. Please take away the hazy focus and sexually inviting gaze.

Physiology aside, I liked her minor re-invention on the animated Justice League of America/Justice League Unlimited series: a little aloof, unintegrated into polite society, naive.

The real life version of Womnder Woman. Not only is she sexy, but she is the best crime fighting superheroine. Only one problem: the boots. She can do without the tall boots -- as it makes her look like a porn star, and very misogynistic to say the least.

I liked some, didn't like some, and definitely noticed only one female artist? Weird..

I'm not a comics fan, so that may colour my perception some, but I really like that "Tim Hodge1" one. That take on Wonder Woman looks like she has a wicked Long Island Jewish-girl accent...and an elbow strike that'll put you in the hospital.

She's kind of cute, but definitely has a sort of "don't cross me or I'll crawl you one" look in her eyes.

That first image is also featured on the BBWW (The Fat Wonder Woman Blog) which bears mentioning, if only because the artwork is so good.

Some of the images on BBWW are comically derogatory, but most of them show Fat Wonder Woman being just as sexy and powerful as her original supermodel prototype. It's really quite cool.
