In the mid-'60s, DC comics decided to return Wonder Woman to her Golden Age roots. It was a short lived attempt that failed to generate an increase in readership and sales. The cover, with art by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, wins the prize as having the most text of any comic book published during the Siilver Age (maybe ever). Did the powers that be really think this was any way to sell a comic book?

SILVER AGE COMIC BOOK COVER OF THE DAY
VINTAGE PAPERBACK BOOK COVER OF THE DAY
This isn't a vintage paperback. It's a recent, massive trade paperback book that reprints detective, crime and mystery stories from the legendary BLACK MASK pulp magazine. I've got this one on my shelf but I haven't dipped into it yet.
