Wonder Woman costume change. Her boots no longer have a flap on the top. Keith Chandler : A previous indexer queries whether this is the work of Harry Peter. The three squat figures throwing spears at Diana certainly look like his style. But we need to be aware that he had several, unnamed, assistants during this period.

Story Notes

Initial data from Jerry Bails. Per R. Gary Land, this was not Emil Gershwin's work. However, Gene Reed confirmed it was Gershwin, but the difference in the artwork was that it was inked by Bernard Sachs and not by Gershwin. Lady Danger is described in the first page as "blonde, beautiful Valerie Vaughan" but she's a brunette throughout the story.
