Story Notes

Wonder Woman meets the White Magician for the first time in this issue, and yet seemingly meets him for the the first time in Wonder Woman Annual (DC, 1988 series) #3 as well. According to the text, The White Magician was called "Mr. Magic" in the 1940's, and "The White Sorcerer" in the 1960's; in the 1970's, he belonged to the super group "Echoes of Justice;" he had always been a hero, but acts as a villain here. Wonder Woman notes there are "more powerful meta-humans" than she, and that she is unable to fly into space on her own power. As Diana is unable to speak Russian, she communicates with Natasha by their lingua franca, Greek.
