Wonder Woman #4
In "Part 1: Man-Hating Madness," Wonder Woman faces a pivotal challenge as Paula uses her subconscious X-ray machine to uncover the hidden motives of war-profiteering rubber magnates—part of Aphrodite’s third test to transform men’s hearts and steer them toward serving humanity. Written by Charles Moulton and illustrated with striking detail by Harry Peter, this 1943 issue blends wartime urgency with mythic ambition, all rendered in bold lines by the same artist behind the cover.
In "Part 1: Man-Hating Madness," Wonder Woman faces a dangerous new threat as Paula von Gunther begins her trials to prove herself worthy in Aphrodite’s service—her first challenge: stopping a Japanese scheme to incite mass hysteria among American women. With Steve Trevor and Colonel Darnell at her side, Diana must navigate a web of deception, confronting General Sansu Hideo, Major Fu, and other enemy leaders while the Amazons and their captured prisoners, including Jeane and Mae Wu, play unexpected roles in the unfolding conflict.
In "Part 2: Mole Men of the Underworld," Paula and the Holliday Girls face a daring mission beneath the surface, where they encounter the Mole Men and their enslaved Mole women—led by the enigmatic Calla. With the help of the Queen's Messenger, they attempt to transform a subterranean society ruled by darkness, using a bold and unexpected method to awaken their captors to a world they’ve never seen.
In "Part 3: The Rubber Barons," Wonder Woman confronts a syndicate of war-profiteering rubber magnates—led by Ivar Torgson, Skelly, Cornelius R. Quod, Larry Hefton, and Sigmund Spoil—whose greed threatens to undermine peace. With the help of Elva Dove, a cunning intelligence clerk, and the wisdom of the Amazons, including Joan, Diana uses her subconscious X-ray machine to uncover the hidden motives driving these men, seeking to transform their hearts and redirect their power toward humanity.
In "Part 4: The Treachery of Mavis," Wonder Woman faces a dangerous reckoning when Mavis, a former slave of Paula and now a vengeful figure among Aphrodite's Priestesses, turns against her. With the Amazons and Paula's Slave Girls caught in the crossfire, the stakes rise as old wounds and betrayals surface in a story of power, loyalty, and the cost of justice.
