First appearance of Princess Diana as "Wonder Girl," whose costume is an exact copy of Wonder Woman's costume, as opposed to the recurring Wonder Girl first seen in Wonder Woman (DC, 1942 series) #105; young Princess Diana was first seen in action in Wonder Woman (DC, 1942 series) #23. The Amazon children's version of "Bullets and Bracelets" is "Pies and Bracelets." The Amazons are shown celebrating the Feast Day of Goddess Diana, in which Amazons dressed in animal costumes "hunt" each other. Olive Norton was last seen in Sensation Comics (DC, 1942 series) #58. The Limestone Girls live in caves under Paradise Island, accessible through the crater of Mt. Lesurvius. "Amazon steel" is mentioned, which is unbreakable even by Amazons. Queen Hippolyte is shown wearing ankle bracelets on page A7, although this is usually typical of Amazon neophytes and their trainers.
