“The Malay Penguin!”

In "The Malay Penguin!", Steve Trevor stumbles into a bizarre mishap when he accidentally activates an electric Cooky La Moo poster, sending it into a frenzy—only to find himself and Wonder Woman facing down a sentient, chaotic cartoon in a surreal showdown. With the lasso of truth and a surprising snack in hand, the duo must keep the situation from spiraling further. Curt Swan's art brings the absurdity to life, while Marshall Rogers' dynamic cover captures the chaos in full color.
