Indexer Notes

Wonder Woman mentions her invisible chains which seemingly keep her submissive to Aphrodite's law. At the end of the issue, Wonder Woman overcomes her berserker rage by throwing off those chains. Last issue, Lance mentioned his roommate, Tod; this issue, he calls him Thomas. Last issue, Martin Markham's hair was black; this issue, he's blond. Although the Mayor of New York City is not named, he appears to be Ed Koch, Mayor at the time of this story.
