Comments:
This story takes place in mid-1942 and continues in Wonder Woman #232.
Mr. Terrific is incorrectly identified as a member of the Justice Society in this story. He was not an official member of the team until years later.
Sandman is depicted in the incorrect costume in this story. He should be wearing the purple and yellow tights, not the gas mask and cape.
Synopsis:
A tank battle in the desert of Egypt causes damage to a pyramid. Inside, a mummy arises having been restored to life by the battle. The mummy removes its wrappings and is revealed as Osira, an alien woman who came to Earth thousands of years earlier with her husband Hefnakhti and brought peace to the ancient Egyptians. She and Hefnakhti oversaw the construction of the pyramids and taught the people irrigation techniques. However, the aliens were overthrown and imprisoned inside the pyramid.
Now awakened, Osira seeks to bring peace to the world. She coerces Congress to declare Pearl Harbor a misunderstanding and unites British and German soldiers under her command. Wonder Woman restores order to Congress, then flies to Egypt with Steve Trevor. Wonder Woman battles Osira inside the pyramid, but she loses the fight and is imprisoned inside a force shield. Also revealed as prisoners of Osira are several members of the Justice Society.
