Wonder Woman #12

In "Wonder Woman and the Winged Maidens of Venus, Part 1," Wonder Woman gains magnetic hearing from Desira, Queen of Venus, and uncovers a secret plot to ignite a Third World War. With the fate of thirty nations hanging in the balance, she willingly lets herself be captured by the Third World War Promoters—including Pierre Finati, Bird Boswell, and Nerva, Steve's secretary—knowing their scheme relies on breaking her resolve.

In "The Ordeal of Fire," Wonder Woman races to rescue a sorority pledge transported to Venus, where she faces a deadly trial at the hands of the enigmatic villain Velma. With the fate of the young girl hanging in the balance, Diana must confront the sinister forces behind the abduction—led by the Third World War Promoters—while her ally Paula works from Paradise Island to turn the tide.

In "The Conquest of Venus," Wonder Woman faces a dangerous new challenge when Velma, once a target of her compassion, turns to the dark side and enlists the help of a notorious gangster and his thugs to invade Venus. With Queen Desira’s realm threatened and the Third World War Promoters pulling strings from the shadows, Wonder Woman must confront not just physical invasion, but the deeper conflict of ideology and loyalty.
