Golden Age Wonder Woman

These are from Sensation Comics #3, 1942.

I include this because William Moulton Marston, Wonder Woman's creator and the author of her Golden Age adventures, also invented the lie detector test. Though his wasn't a golden lasso.


Women in jail! Already the prison matron is telling Diana she'll look pretty behind bars.


And here's the real culprit! Named after Hitler's girlfriend, no less.




Again, Golden Age Steve Trevor is a swell guy.

Hmm, the usual: blindfolds, spanking, tying people up, even naked Diana!

And, yep, Golden Age Steve was swell! :)

"The Hitler Cure"? Does that involve cyanide?

The thing with a name may be a coincidence - I don't think those aspects of Hitler's personal life were really unearthed until AFTER the war.

A book I read that was written at the time mentioned his girlfriend by name, so they did know that.

OK, but was it common public knowledge? I mean, my general impression of the times was that Hitler was generally seen as just the big, bad bogeyman - few people were interested in his personal details besides the military.

"Eve Brown" after "Eva Braun" is just stretching coincidence too thin. Hitler's life and habits were well publicized even before the US entered the war, although with a lot of distortion... that he was supposedly a former house painter, for example.

That Etta's got a mean streak. I can see her as a guard at Abu Ghraib, snatching candy away from naked manacled prisoners.
