An enhanced photo of a panel in DC Comics' Wonder Woman, issue number 203 from November 1972. Art by Dick Giordano. The panel is a facial close-up of a clearly irritated Diana Prince. Her long, black hair indicates she has just sharply whirled leftward to speak to someone behind her. Her left hand is extended, palm down, fingers spread wide, as if motioning "cut it out," and she exclaims, "HEY, you guys... !" For context, at this time in the comic's run, Diana Prince had given up the powers of Wonder Woman to live life as a normal person. Just prior to this panel, she was being cat-called by a group of guys while walking along a older, big-city, neighborhood sidewalk. She has around turned to tell them off. An enhanced photo of part of a 1940s-era black and white ad illustration. A girl with long, dark, wavy hair happily, excitedly, has something to say to the reader. She's leaning slightly to her left and showing the raised index finger of her right hand, skyward, to make a point. The empty upper left corner of the image has been altered to include a color poster, by artist Stuart Sayger of Spider-Man atop a building, beneath a dark, cloudy sky, for the 2025 Gem City Comic Book Convention, July 19th and 20th at the University of Dayton Marriott hotel, 1414 South Patterson Boulevard in Dayton, Ohio. Weekend pass $10, Sunday only pass $5. Early Buy, 9 A.M. both days $5.
