Nice find! I have the two frames of Wonder Woman stuck in the tar pit on the first page, but not the entire pages. It's nice to see that even someone as strong and powerful as Wonder Woman can get hopelessly stuck and sink to her doom in gooey tar, and requiring someone with the strength of Superman to pull her free.
Her pose as she struggles to free her stuck legs on the first page is beautifully drawn, and I love how her superhuman strength merely drives her powerful legs even deeper into tar as she slowly sinks into the dark depths below. I also love how the narrative at the top of the first frame on the second page notes that Superman had to heave on Wonder Woman's arms twice to free her and that you can see the tar relentlessly stretching up after her when he finally frees her... love the idea that her legs were hopelessly stuck really bad in the tar.
Thanks for sharing!
I was thinking of those frames you posted waterbug and kept searching for the scene. Glad to have found it. WW is well overdue for another struggle in the tar... or mire or quicksand...
