![]() How is it that Cheetah is able to stay hidden when Wonder Woman has her Lasso of Truth AND access to a telepath!?!? The mind reader returns to tell Wonder Woman that Cheeath is impersonating someone on the trip. The general selects a team of sportswomen what will compete against Amazons, and Cheeath takes the opportunity to kidnap and impersonate the hurdles champion.īecause even random bystanders are not exempt from bondage shenanigans in Golden Age Wonder Woman. Which apparently can be achieved by just putting your mind into it. Moving to the third and final story, it begins with Wonder Woman arguing with a general about Amazon strength. This convinces the Japanese, and Wonder Woman escapes in the most ridiculous way imaginable.Īnd this story ends with Cheeath warning Wonder Woman to stop stopping her plans, plus Steve Trevor being a little unhinged. The Japanese are convinced the information received by Cheetah is false because Wonder Woman apparently has super-ventriloquism. I think I need a shower after reading those panels. We are in full WWII propaganda mode, so be warned: this is going to be INCREDIBLY racist. This leads to Wonder Woman needing to travel to Japan to stop them from attacking Americans. While she’s not superhumanly fast at this point, she still manages to escape. Please note that they are supposed to be in zebra costumes, so either the colorist wasn’t told or he’s never seen a zebra.Ĭheetah kidnaps, ties up and whips girls? She really was destined to fight Wonder Woman. She and another girl are being blackmailed by Cheetah into working for her. This girl working for Cheetah is a mind reader, and she tells Wonder Woman how she learned that Priscilla is Cheetah. Unfortunately I can’t read this handwriting, so it might as well have been shorthand. Later she discovers that someone has been writing down her thoughts while she was getting her hair done. Moving to the second story, we interrupt military intelligence related to WWII to have Wonder Woman visiting a beauty salon. Needless to say, her plan makes no sense.ĪLL OF THAT so that Cheetah could shove Wonder Woman into a huge grain deposit (?) and let her suffocate there.Īnd so we end the first story with Cheetah setting the building on fire and dying. I thought the rich dude was the one who paid Wonder Woman’s bail… but no, Cheetah did that! Yes, she sent her to jail AND she had her released. Someone pays her bail, leading to Wonder Woman meeting Cheetah. “I’d love to wear handcuffs”… yeah, we figured that out. Interesting to see that people don’t automatically assume Wonder Woman has a secret identity.Ĭheetah has the chance to kill Wonder Woman right now (I think cutting her throat would’ve worked in the Golden Age, she wasn’t invulnerable yet), but prefers to disgrace her.Īlso Wonder Woman sleeps with her tiara! That can’t be comfortable. Steve, if she prefers to attend gay parties, maybe consider you’re not exactly her type. I don’t know what’s worse, that Cheetah’s original costume is a rug or that she’s running around in a desecrated corpse.Īnd so Discount Catwoman Cheetah begins her criminal career by stealing from a rich dude who dumped her to attend Wonder Woman’s charity event. Sarcastic Wonder Woman is the best Wonder Woman.Īngry that Wonder Woman is upstaging her career, Priscilla finds out she has an alternate evil personality. However Wonder Woman is able to chew through the leather mask (!!!) and contorts herself to untie herself with her mouth. She’s supposed to perform and escapist trick, but Priscilla secretly tied her hands using the unbreakable Golden Lasso. Remember: there is no subtext, only text. Wonder Woman’s performance requires her to be chained and gagged, because of course. We begin with Wonder Woman being late for a charity show, upstaging who was supposed to be the star of the show: debutante Priscilla Rich. Wonder Woman was a quarterly series at this point, but this simply meant there were more pages.Īll three stories feature Cheetah in her ridiculous Golden Age costume.
