Comments:
This story is continued from Wonder Woman #231.
The Sandman is depicted in the wrong costume in this story. Mr. Terrific is incorrectly identified as a member of the Justice Society.
Synopsis:
Wonder Woman is defeated and captured by Osira who seeks to make Steve Trevor her new mate because he is a double for her dead husband Hefnakhti. While Wonder Woman uses her magic lasso to escape, Osira begins to possess Steve with the soul of her husband. Wonder Woman interrupts and knocks out Steve. She then uses him as a shield against Osira who doesn't want him harmed.
One of Osira's misfired energy blasts frees the Justice Society members from imprisonment. However, Osira is able to control them and send them after Wonder Woman. A chase across the desert begins with the Sphinx being destroyed in the process. Wonder Woman eventually prevails and convinces Osira to leave Earth. Osira's body disintegrates and her spirit joins that of her husband. Wonder Woman and most of the JSA depart, while Starman stays behind to reconstruct the Sphinx with his gravity rod.
