Trivia
- New logo beginning with this issue.
- The War That Never Happened! talks about a future predicted by Futuray of Paula Von Gunther, where in 1963 the World War III devastated the world. It is very impressive that this prediction has almost become true, but with only a year of difference. This is shown in the same story that the greatest city in the world is in ruins. Currently, this is Tokyo; a city woman shown doesn't seems to be Japanese.
- The Secret Olympics seems to infer that Wonder Woman was already born and adult during the Ancient Greece; all people shown in the flashback wear classical tunics and robes; even Praxo, considered the world's most famous sculptor. Perhaps these people are wearing these clothes only as a requirement, what would place the flashback story sometime during or after 1941 (Men are present in the story and Steve Trevor was the first man seen by Diana). However there were no Olympics at Man's world between 1936 and 1948; then this Stadia contest was secret, only for few people. Anyway, is difficult to establish the canonicity of this story.
- Wonder Woman's Double Date! mentions that Steve Trevor is returning from Korea. Obviously it refers to Korean War, which finished in the same month of publication.
