Cover of Wonder Woman #196
   
Comments:

Alternative cover art to "Wonder Woman" #196
The cover image was not the same version shown in previews of the issue, which had depicted Diana in her normal costume. However, it is suggested in some quarters that the Editors and/or the creative team were not comfortable with the way a hand was shown touching and almost stroking Wonder Woman's bare thighs. By the time the book shipped, Diana was suddenly fully bedecked in an Amazon skirt and cloak! Interestingly, Adam Hughes would provide only one more cover for "Wonder Woman" before leaving the book and some fans wondered if there had been some falling out over his artistic freedom having been compromised. However, this was pure speculation.

The alternative cover art is shown left:

Plot Summary:

As Wonder Woman's book is published it causes a stir, with some sections of the community not happy with the views she shares. A new, non super-powered villain is introduced in the shape of Veronica Cale, who is set on destroying Diana's reputation by any and all means.
