WONDER WOMAN #152

Front cover shows a corner crease at upper left tip and some general handling wear along the edges; there is minor granularity/soiling especially near the bottom edge and slight color rub at the top edge. Spine area is not clearly visible due to the plastic sleeve, so spine stress cannot be fully assessed. Colors remain bright and inks vibrant with no major tears, stains, or writing visible. This is a pre-1977 book so no direct/newsstand distinction applies; only the front cover was evaluated, interior and back cover condition unknown.

Wonder Woman #152 (DC Comics, February 1965) arrived during the Robert Kanigher-scripted "Impossible Tales" period, when stories regularly paired the adult Amazon with her younger selves, Wonder Girl and Wonder Tot, in family-style adventures aimed at a young readership. Ross Andru penciled the issue with Mike Esposito inking, the signature art team of the era, delivering the clean, brightly costumed house style that defined Wonder Woman's mid-1960s look. The issue carries no first appearance, origin, or landmark creative milestone; it is a representative entry in a long-running series rather than a recognized key.

Certified sales data shows a market with a wide but shallow curve: mid-grade copies in the 5.5 to 7.0 range have traded in a tight band around $65, reflecting steady but modest demand for mid-run issues without a specific hook beyond the Andru/Esposito art and the Wonder Family concept. Higher grades show a much steeper premium, with 9.4 copies fetching roughly $525 and 9.6 copies climbing to about $1,100 across a handful of recorded sales, underscoring how thin the population becomes above 9.0 for a book of this vintage. Demand is driven primarily by Wonder Woman title completists and Silver Age DC collectors building toward high-grade runs, rather than by character-first-appearance buyers.

The book trades as a mid-tier Silver Age filler across low and mid grades, with values largely flat until the low 9-point range, where scarcity and condition sensitivity begin to dominate pricing. Collectors most likely to pursue this issue are Wonder Woman series runs builders and Andru/Esposito art fans rather than key-issue investors, and top-census 9.6-9.8 copies will command outsized premiums purely on eye-appeal and rarity rather than content-driven demand.
