Interesting aspect about this thread is that fan art can be scarier and give a greater sense of peril to Diana than mainstream art. But in a way mainstream has gotten scarier over the years, more perilous for want of a better word.
These two covers portray a Diana in peril, the second one very close to the theme of Diana being confronted in bed that we had in issue 37, but in neither of them do I feel (or felt since I've been collecting for a long while) that Diana was in real peril.
Or even here. She's in trouble, but I never got the feeling as I reading that issue-or any issue back then-that Diana wouldn't get out of it alive and well.
But take it to the modern day and this sort of cover does make me curious if Diana is going to make out in one piece.
I don't know if the art has simply changed, I've changed or it is the fact that death is far more common these days for comic book characters, even if the deaths are only temporary.
