Cover of Wonder Woman #145
Star Icon Comments:

Early draft sketch of cover to Wonder Woman #145This striking Adam Hughes cover was not the original intended composition. An early concept sketch depicted Devastation holding an impaled Wonder Woman aloft on her sword (see left). Notice that the sheath is still shown as empty on the final colour version. It is unknown why this version was dropped, though perhaps DC felt it a little too graphic in its depiction of an apparently slain Wonder Woman.
Such sensistivity obviously did not apply when John Byrne and Jerry Ordway drew their cover for JLA #210, which depicts Superman standing over a mortally wounded Diana who lies on the floor having been impaled with a sword.
