It's my favourite of all the comic representations, Emilio Frejo did an amazing job. He clearly had a lot of photo reference material - and you can often recognise the exact publicity still he used.
He tends, in the manner of all comic book artists, to make Diana curvier than in real life, and the clothes tighter.
The stories are short but quite entertaining, although not up to the plots we expect on screen - I guess that's why Big Finish are doing the comic book adaptations.

Love it! Makes really good use of the oblong shape and represents the dark undertone of the episode very well.
