I always thought it was a fun idea that a cute blonde girl made herself look like Ugly Betty when she became a superhero. I'm not sure that was actually intentional, and more the result of an awkward period in Byrne's art style, but still, it's a neat idea.
Wait a minute. Edna Mode became Wonder Girl?

ReplyDeleteGod, that Byrne rendering really is creepy. She looks like ET when it was all dressed up in doll clothing.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I'm all for more realistic-looking women in comics, but it's a universally bad sign when your superhero inspires not terror but pity.
