When a movie star—dressed as Wonder Woman—arrives at the same event, her sudden appearance throws the investigation into chaos. Written by William Marston and illustrated by Harry Peter, with colors by Jamison and a cover by Harry Peter, this 2007 archive issue blends mystery and myth with a classic touch.
When Etta Candy overhears a sinister phone call about a planned murder, she and Wonder Woman [Diana Prince] race to a studio costume party to stop it—only to find a mysterious woman dressed as Wonder Woman, a famous actress supposedly kidnapped and murdered, walking among the guests. With the party buzzing with secrets and suspects, Diana must untangle a web of deception, where every guest has a motive and the truth is as elusive as the missing Tama Blair.
When a mysterious girl is found trapped in seaweed and a strange radio signal interrupts General Darnell’s address, Wonder Woman is drawn into a cosmic mystery.

In the wake of Count Mephisto Saturno’s imprisonment, Wonder Woman, Steve Trevor, and Etta Candy awaken to a sudden, unnatural lethargy—something is wrong.

With Steve Trevor and Etta Candy on high alert and the Holliday Girls caught in the crossfire, the threat grows more personal—and more dangerous—than ever.
In the final chapter of this tense arc, Wonder Woman must race against time to prevent Hypnota the Great from igniting a cosmic conflict, as the ambassador from Saturn, Count Dendum, becomes the target of a deadly scheme. With Steve Trevor and Etta Candy at her side, and the Holliday Girls caught in the crossfire, Diana Prince faces a crisis that could plunge Earth into war—unless she can stop Hypnota before the ambassador is harmed.
When a group of Amazon children—Zoe and her unnamed peers—stow away on Wonder Woman’s plane after uncovering corruption at their orphanage run by the villain Reegan, they arrive just as Nazi forces, including a submarine crew and the sinister Paula von Gunther, launch a surprise attack on Paradise Island.
