About this Collection
The Wonder Woman Chronicles Vol. 3 collects early Wonder Woman stories from Sensation Comics #17–20, Wonder Woman #4–5, and Comic Cavalcade #2–4, originally published in 1944. This volume continues the Golden Age adventures of the Amazon Princess, featuring her battles against classic villains like the Cheetah and the Duke of Deception, with art and stories by William Moulton Marston and H.G. Peter. It offers a glimpse into the character's formative years, showcasing her blend of super-heroics and social commentary from the era.
In "Victory at Sea," Wonder Woman faces a dangerous deception when a woman claiming to be a reporter, Rora Blank, probes Diana Prince with unsettling questions. As Steve Trevor remains unaware of the truth, the real threat emerges—Fausta Grables, a Nazi agent, steals Wonder Woman’s costume and impersonates her at an Army benefit, testing the limits of identity and trust. Written by William Marston and illustrated by Frank Godwin, with colors by Jamison, Digital Chameleon, and Lee Loughridge, this 2013 tale unfolds with tension and intrigue, all under Harry Peter’s striking cover.
