When Wonder Woman Owned Her Own ‘Mod’ Boutique

This is “Working for a While,” a feature that spotlights the lesser-known jobs that our favorite superheroes have had over the years (mostly in their secret identities, but sometimes I’ll feature examples of jobs superheroes have had in their costumed identities, as well). Today, we look at how Wonder Woman tried to run her own mod boutique. One of the most dramatic changes to DC’s iconic superhero, Wonder Woman, occurred in 1968, when longtime writer/editor, Robert Kanigher, was forced off of the series after twenty years in favor of new blood (“new” in this case was a bit of a stretch, as he was replaced by another longtime DC creator, Mike Sekowsky, who was only eight years younger than Kanigher. Sekowsky was not a fan of Kanigher, and actively mocked him during this run). Sekowsky, the plotter and artist on the series (initially working with editor Jack Miller and scripter Denny O’Neil, but Sekowsky would soon take over editing duties himself on the series), marked the dramatic change with a striking cover…A lesser known change in the comics at the time was that Diana Prince was now out of military intelligence, and she became…a mod boutique owner?!
