It was interesting to read in The Guardian on July 15 2016 that "Wonder Woman artist Frank Cho quits in row over ‘vulgar’ cover".
Annys Shin described Mr. Cho for The Washington Post thus:
Jill Lepore, ‘The Secret History of Wonder
Woman’, 2014:
“...(Gardner) Fox’s Wonder Woman was a secretary in a swimsuit. (William Moulton) Marston’s Wonder Woman was a Progressive Era feminist, charged with fighting evil, intolerance, destruction, injustice, suffering, and even sorrow, on behalf of democracy, freedom, justice, and equal rights for women.
