Groove's Faves: Wonder Woman is "Hell On Skis"

Y'know, Groove-ophiles, good ol' Wonder Woman went through a lot during the Groovy Age. She lost her powers and became an Emma Peel clone. She got her powers back and went through some goofy Silver Age style adventures. She had to go through a series of tests to re-join the JLA. When her ABC-TV show, set during WWII became a hit (thanks, in no small part to the dead-on casting of Lynda Carter in the title role), her comicbook adventures became all-new WWII-era tales. When the TV show switched to CBS and brought Wonder Woman to the then-present days of the late 1970s, her comics followed suit. Consistency wasn't a watch-word for fans of WW's comics. If one was very careful, though, there were some real treasures to be found amid all of the chaos. One of those treasures is our focus for the day. A fun, exciting, WWII-era tale written by Gerry Conway with pencils by the extremely talented but too-little-seen Jim Sherman (most famous for a short run on Legion of Super-Heroes, which I'm gonna have'ta cover one of these days) and inks by a young Bob Wiacek. Toss in a corny-but-cool-looking supervillain and some hair-raising ski-stunts, and you've got the makings of a Wonder Woman story worth remembering! From World's Finest Comics #245 (March 1977), here's "Hell On Skis"!
