A New Cover Posted Every Day! Join the Facebook Fan Page at: www.facebook.com/SuperTeamFamilyTheLostIssues
These two heroines inspired lots of girls and were the first crushes of a lot of boys, so I think that a crossover like this would have been a big hit back in the day. It's too bad the Wonder Woman TV show never featured any of her comic book villains, and this would have been an opportunity to change that.

You had me at "Ann-Margaret as Giganta." ;)
Weren’t Wonder Woman and Isis both published by DC?
I was hoping that Sony Television would have Ann-Margaret in Married… with Children, with the Oprah Winfrey scandal.
Not initially. Isis was made-for-TV by Filmation as a back-up to Season 2 of the live-action "Shazam" series (renamed the "Shazam/Isis Hour") on CBS, Saturday mornings, pre-1976. DC licensed the right from them to publish a comic book spin-off, but it was short-lived.
Great cover! A future issue teaming Wonder Woman and Isis, with the Bionic Woman, Electra-Woman and Dyna-Girl would be fun. I can't think of any other live-action female super-heroes from the 70s, but there are probably some.
On the idea of combining two TV shows (or intended shows anyway) together, have you ever thought of doing a crossover between Ark II and Genesis II? Always thought they could have been on the same post-apocalyptic Earth. Or perhaps The live-action Captain Marvel meets the 1970s Incredible Hulk.
Ark II and Genesis II? They sound familiar but I forget, are they spaceships or something?
.It wasn't a photo cover, but I did do a team up of the TV Hulk and Shazam: https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2019/06/the-hulk-and-shazam-tv-movie-adaptation.html
"Genesis II" was a TV pilot film done by Gene Roddenberry with Alex Cord as Dylan Hunt. A scientist who had just gone into cryogenic hibernation just before an earthquake sealed off his underground lab. Causing him to be found and revived by far-future spelunkers working for a techno-humanitarian organization called Pax "Ark II" was a (somewhat similar) Filmation live-action s-f series wherein the title vehicle and its crew (including a "talking" chimp named Adam) tried to restart surviving pockets of humanity on an ecologically decimated future Earth.
This is one of those extremely rare cases, since launching this as STF, where the characters teaming up are both from the same side of the street (both are DC characters), but it's still something that we're not likely to see in the foreseeable future; there wasn't even a way to do a version with Gal Gadot and Tala Ashe.
But lately, I've been wondering about the superhero gods: Thor, of course, and Isis, as seen here, with Hercules technically included even though he's actually a demigod. So, in the more humorous superhero world I've been working on recently, I've brought in Tlāhuizcalpantecuhtli.
Lou Ferrigno appeared as Hercules in at least 1 film. It'd be nice to see him team up with his I. Hulk version or some of these other live action heroes.
The only 1970s female heroine I can think of is the early blonde Wonder Woman who rode a bike teaming up with Isis or Electro Woman & Dyna-Girl for future cover ideas. Wonder Girl Debra Winger Is another 70s heroine I would guess but might've debuted in early 80s episodes.
Gesundheit!
Nope! She debuted as Drusilla the Wonder Girl in November 1976 while the"Wonder Woman" series was still on ABC and still set during World War II. She appeared on a lot of other TV shows throughout the late Seventies, but never on WW after it moved to CBS.
Oh! And that "early blonde Wonder Woman" was Kathy Lee Crosby (who thwarted a master spy played by a pre-Fantasy Island Ricardo Montalban).
There's also (if you want to extend the reach a bit) the Huntress character from "Arrow," and (IIRC) both a Fire and an Ice, from the seldom-seen live action "Justice League" pilot of... was it the '90s?
There was one Wonder Woman villain from the comics who appeared in the TV series. Baroness Paula von Gunther was in one episode, played by Christine Belford. Her comic book counterpart eventually reformed and went to live on Paradise Island, where she invented the Purple Healing Ray that WW used quite often.
And didn't Lynda Day-George play Fausta Grables? Just a cunning female mastermind in the Golden Age comics. But, a veritable Stephanie Rogers (a gold medalist in the 1936 Berlin Olympics) in the TV episode!
There was, of course, no Stephanie Rogers (that I know of) at the real-life Berlin Olympics. I was just making a play on words, re: Capt. America's civilian ID.
There was Majel as #1 in Star Trek's The Cage who was important AND Mrs Peel from U.K.'s Avengers in 1966. The Amazon League of America could be done. :)
Throw in Queen Shuri of Wakanda as their leader, so she can lead them in a cat-fight* against the New Female Furies, and you've got a deal.
