15 Years Without A Man...

(excerpt)

But if Wonder Woman was lacking in good partners before she was rebooted, she's been in even worse straits since George Perez relaunched Wonder Woman in 1987. Before, at least she had the horny-as-a-dead-fish Steve Trevor and numerous opportunities to engage in semi-bestiality.

Now, Steve Trevor is portrayed as about 45, a navy officer at the tail end of his career who is dissatisfied with his fellow soldiers and the military leadership. (I don't know Perez's personal politics too well, but the Wonder Woman title certainly had enough of an anti-military, pacifistic tilt. Of course, Reagan was in office then, and it was popular to make the military the bad guy. Witness "Dark Knight Returns" and numerous other works of the same period.) Over the course of the first two years of the book, Steve leaves the military, marries the newly-svelte Etta Candy (whom he didn't consider as a mate when she was overweight…what IS it with this guy?) and disappears from the book.
