About this Collection

This third volume of the Wonder Woman Archives series collects Wonder Woman #9-12 (1944-1945), showcasing the Golden Age adventures of the Amazon Princess by creator William Moulton Marston and artist H.G. Peter. These stories continue the character's early exploits against Axis forces and mythological threats, presented in restored black-and-white with the original comic pages reproduced in their raw, uncolored form as part of DC's Archive Editions line.

In "The Secret City of the Incas," Wonder Woman confronts a shadowy conspiracy after a dying man reveals a crime army's plan to seize control of America. When Diana is drugged and plunged into a coma, it's up to Paula and the Holliday Girls to administer the antidote and stop the threat before it's too late. Written by William Marston and illustrated by Frank Godwin, with colors by Lee Loughridge, this 2002 archive entry features a cover by Harry Peter.
