Kanigher found other ways to put two Wonder Women on the cover: And there was always the option of dividing the cover into sections: And this is even without counting the numerous "impossible" covers which featured Wonder Woman as a tot, girl and adult all at the same time: Indeed, looking at them all, it almost appears that it was more likely to find multiple images of Wondy than single ones.
