Silly SA Cover of the Day
Người đăng: vanmai yeu em on Thứ Hai, 16 tháng 5, 2005
Lousy poetry, lousy artwork and a monster that somehow fails to terrify. This is the absolute nadir of the Wonder Woman series. Although the Diana Rigg secret agent takeoff was a bit of a stretch, at least it has the virtue [...]

Goofy Covers

This is one of the sillier covers out there. Note that Wonder Woman's comment does not add anything to our understanding of the story. She could almost add, "And he's going down the up escalato [...]
