The New Wonder Woman #179 - A DC Comics publication from November 1968, marked with the iconic DC logo and Comics Code Authority approval stamp.
This issue features the headline "It's Goodbye to the Past" and presents a significant transitional moment in Wonder Woman's story. The cover showcases the classic character in her familiar green costume against a striking red background, while an inset panel depicts a blonde woman in white at what appears to be a formal gathering, suggesting a shift in the narrative direction. The 12-cent cover price reflects the late 1960s era of comic book publishing.
The interior pages reveal a spy thriller plot involving a secret government agency mission. The story begins quietly with a conversation between two men at an intelligence agency office, where one agent is committed to undertaking a dangerous assignment. The narrative escalates as the protagonist prepares to become a traitor to complete the mission effectively, setting up intrigue and moral complexity typical of the era's espionage-influenced storytelling.
This issue also includes period advertising, notably an Aurora Hobby Kits advertisement promoting science fiction model kits from popular television shows and films, including UFOs, space vehicles, and robots—capturing the space-age enthusiasm of the late 1960s.
