Only the souls of the dead, shackled as prisoners, may enter Mars' domain. Aphrodite gives Wonder Woman an elixir of living death so her astral form may be captured by Mars' slave collectors. Wonder Woman gives her name as Etta Candy, and is unrecognized by Mars and his aides, suggesting this is the first time he's ever seen her. Wonder Woman fights a Saturnian slave in the arena; she later meets the Saturnians in Wonder Woman (DC, 1942 series) #10. Wonder Woman's healing purple ray can be taken in tablet form.

The Amazons speak English when Etta Candy visits, an indication they speak another language. Diana's Day is the Amazon Christmas, which occurs on the Winter Solstice (dated here on December 25th, instead of the 21st). An Amazon is chosen to wear the mask of the goddess, filling arrow quivers with gifts; any Amazon girl can attempt to remove the goddess' mask to take her place, but should she fail, she must dress as a woodland creature and be prey in the next day's hunt. Steve receives a mental radio from Wonder Woman as a Diana's Day present.

Wonder Woman uses a "brain wave detector" on Paula's slave girls, a machine that prints a read-out of a person's thoughts. It is noted that the Paradise Island piers are electrically wired to detect approaching vessels. It is suggested that the power of the lasso comes from Aphrodite. Paula demonstrates her hypnotizing technique, to which even Wonder Woman is susceptible. Paula has created a wearable version of the invisibility machine she used in Sensation Comics (DC, 1942 series) #6.
