Owner's Description
The colors really make this cover stand out for me. The original art, as shown in the Reverse image, has clean lines as you might expect. But when Hughes adds the green to Devastation, her anger becomes palpable. Her eyes are mad and filled with hate. She's about to go off, and there's nothing to stop her. Meanwhile, despite not seeing her face, Wonder Woman's emotions are readily apparent, too. She's on the verge of giving up, frustrated that she's in chains and powerless to do anything about it. Hughes captures that moment when our hero realizes that there's so much stacked against her, that it would be much easier to quit. But we all know, just by looking at her tightened fists, that she's about to tear those chains apart.
Despite the emotion that Hughes captures here, I sometimes look at this cover and wonder just how Diana keeps her costume on.
Notice that Hughes' signature AH! is missing in the final cover, but is readily apparent in the original art.
Personal Note: Purchased pre-graded on the CGC message boards (letsgrumble).
