Wonder Woman: "The Return of Diana Prince"
The real Diana Prince returns from South America with her husband, Dan White, who has developed an important military invention. Diana asks Wonder Woman for het identity, so she and Dan and her new baby can live in America. She briefly re-assumes her old name, but Dr. I.M. Cue (secretly Togo Ku, chief of Japanese spies) tries to steal Dan White's invention, and Diana is greatly endangered in the process.

| Notes = * Published by J.R. Publishing Company * Black Pirate story: ** The once-infamous **Black Pirate** is now no longer considered a pirate by the kingdom of Scotland. Next issue, he'll also be made welcome in France. ** Having in mind that Black Pirate operated during the Philip II) kingdom (1556-1598), and that king was already old, by elimination the Scottish monarch only could be James VI and I who governed Scotland between 1567 and 1625. * Last issue for Jon L. Blummer art on **Little Boy Blue**, replaced next issue by Paul Gattuso. * First issue for Chuck Winter art on **Mister Terrific**. * **Wonder Woman:** *The Return of Diana Prince* is reprinted in Wonder Woman Archives Vol. 1 (Collected). * The son of Dan White and Diana Prince is named Marvin White in the Super Friends Universe; in this issue, he is unnamed. | Trivia = | Recommended = | Links =
