Notes
- In the first story, Wonder Woman gets head-konked unconscious, with a blackjack, by an ordinary hoodlum.
- In the second story, General "Vertigo" is first mentioned on page 9 panel 1. He first appears on page 11 panels 2 and 3, where he is addressed as General "Virtigo." He and his Venusian invaders were apparently destroyed, in a distant explosion.
- In the third story, Wonder Woman is established as the chairman of the State Parole Board, but her state is not identified. She chairs this body in her Wonder Woman identity, so Diana Prince's home address seems not to be a factor in her eligibility to hold this office.
- Wonder Woman is also able to build an entire factory in under ten minutes.
