Exiting her invisible robot plane, she boards the enemy craft and discovers Nazi swastikas painted along its fuselage. The pilot is a World War II era super-scientist known as the Red Panzer. He inadvertently left his native Earth-Two dimension and arrived in the present on Earth-One by way of his time-grappler device.  Wonder Woman and the Red Panzer begin fighting and the Panzer activates a time-grappler recall switch, which brings both of them back to Earth-Two. Panzer escapes Wonder Woman&#8217;s clutches, leaving the hero stranded in the streets of New York of 1943.  Before long, Wonder Woman encounters her Earth-Two counterpart, and the two get into a brief fight. As they each explain to each other exactly who they are, they agree to work together to track down the Red Panzer.  They find him at his hidden lair in Alexandria Virginia and begin fighting him. Wonder Woman (Earth-One) wraps the Panzer up in her magic lasso, then activates his time-grappler so she can return to Earth-One.  Moments later however, the Panzer-ship instantly returns slamming into the back of the Earth-Two Wonder Woman. The Red Panzer begins laughing maniacally as he now gains the upper hand.<\/p>\n<h2>Wonder Woman #228 \u2013 Collector Details<\/h2>\n<p>This copy of <strong>Wonder Woman #228<\/strong> is carefully graded and offered in <strong>5.5 Fine-<\/strong>.
