By Zack Quaintance — DC’s latest giant-sized anniversary celebration is upon us, with Wonder Woman getting the treatment this month after it was Superman’s turn two years ago with Action Comics #1000 and Batman’s last year with Detective Comics #1000. We’ll have a full review when the big issues hits tomorrow (and you can read why we’re so hyped about it here), but today, we want to look at one of the major selling points of these big books — the covers.

That’s right, we’ve selected a brief list of the best Wonder Woman #750 variant covers, writing just a tiny bit about why we think these are cool. Enjoy!

The Best Wonder Woman #750 Covers

Jenny Frison - 1950s DC Comics Variant

Jenny Frison has been the Wonder Woman variant artist of the past two or three years, doing such iconic work with the character. It’s only fitting that the first cover on our list is her excellent 1950s decade variant that she did for DC Comics. There’s just something so clean and classic about Frison’s depiction of the character, and it works wonderfully for the Silver Age decade she captures in this piece.

George Perez - 1980s DC Comics Variant

Speaking of artists who were the perfect selection to depict certain decade, next up we have George Perez doing the 1980s decade variant for DC. The run that Perez both wrote and illustrated in that decade was a formative one for a character that had been historically neglected at DC, and in it, Perez double down on Wonder Woman’s status with the world’s mythology, adding so much of that world to the character in ways that persist today. His cover here reflects his contributions well.

Brian Bolland - 1990s DC Comics Variant

Brian Bolland is perhaps the greatest DC Comics cover artist of all time (see his work on The Flash in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s), and he perhaps established himself in that position during the 1990s, a decade of EXTREME that maybe wasn’t all that great for Wonder Woman. Even so, Bolland has done top-notch work with this cover here, with Wonder Woman looking off into battle as a shield outweighs the death and destruction in the frame. He also gave Wonder Woman the 1990s perm that was rocked by all the strongest women in my life back in the day, so that’s cool too.

Nicola Scott - Kings Comics Variant

Nicola Scott continues her excellent series of decades variants, having done one that shows both Superman and Batman over time, with an infamous Nightwing version coming next month (ahem). Even without the motif having been applied to the other main pillars of the DC Universe, we’re happy Scott had a chance to do a cover for this character, with her Greg Rucka-penned Rebirth run as one of the best stretches for the character in recent memory.

Adam Hughes - Comic Sketch Art

Adam Hughes is one of the best tasteful cheesecake comics artists in the business, but he doesn’t really go that route here, insteady depicting Wonder Woman amid what we can only presume is World War I (which combined with her recent movie and one of the stories in tomorrow’s book, there’s a growing connection to). The result is this poignant cover that heightens the idea that Wonder Woman’s primary antagonist is actually the advent of war.

Alex Ross - Art Homage

This next cover is in the same vein as the Hughes’ cover, but instead of the metaphorical rendering, we actually see Diana riding down into combat...all rendered with Ross’ industry-best eye for photo-realism. This cover is perhaps the most grandiose of the bunch, and what is perhaps most fitting about it is that Wonder Woman is wielding her golden lasso, rather than a sword, with the former playing a much larger part in both her history and her bondage-influenced creation.

Jim Lee - Torpedo Comics

Finally, we have a set of covers by one of DC Comics’ head honchos, Jim Lee. These covers are perhaps a little too specific to succeed on their own merits, but when taken as a whole, they come together to depict the evolution of the character and her world over the past 80 years in much the same way as Nicola Scott’s work did. Lee, of course, is an amazing artist, but what really makes these covers work is the way each is steeped in a distinct Wonder Woman (modern) era, including her costume, her enemies and her allies in each.
