I agree there is something a little "off" with the Wonder Woman bust (above) but that is a good thing, I think.  It does NOT look like Wonder Woman (Diana) which is good since it is supposed to be Hippolyta.

I'd prefer to see a turn-around shot before passing final judgement.

Note the discreetly deleted cleavage in those days of the Comics Code!

----------------------------------

I've heard a story (JB may know if this is true or apocryphal) that Wally Wood was irritated by that censoring of her cleavage, and so he drew her more and more endowed in each issue of All-Star.  From perusing the issues, it looks possible.  But that's the story I've heard as to how PG as a character ended up so top heavy.

I don't know about that, but I do know that the Code had a real bee in its bonnet about cleavage in those days. 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 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.
