Wonder Woman, The Secret City of the Incas; Sensation Comics #18

Comic book cover art for Sensation Comics featuring Wonder Woman, Vol. 1, No. 18. June 1943. "The Secret City of the Incas," by William Moulton Marston, cover art by H. G. Peter.

This comic book cover features Wonder Woman, the strong, superheroine, who is shown rescuing an Inca girl from becoming a human sacrifice.

Between 1944 and 1947, soon after the related comic book was published, Joye Evelyn Hummel began ghost-writing the text for the title. She resigned from the job in 1947, however, to spend more time with her newborn child, but by that time had also become frustrated by the leanings of other Wonder Woman writers who she felt were interested to eliminate the feminist themes perpetuated by Marston, the original author.
