Golden Age Wonder Woman bondage
These are from Sensation Comics #10, 1942.

I'm going to spoil it for you right now and explain that the redhead's a spy. Steve's working her to find out what she's up to.

Yeah, I see dames doing that all the time.

For an Amazon, Wonder Woman can be awfully typically feminine sometimes.

Personally, I keep mine in the pantry.

And now a deus ex machina to the rescue: the welder is a girl! And a pretty one! She can chain my bracelets together any day!

	I understand that was a result of Edison's (who invented DC) feud with Tesla (who invented AC). One of the more bizarre results was an anti-AC ad against Tesla's company Westinghouse with a convict who was led to the electric chair yelling: "Don't Westinghouse me!" Meaning he would rather be killed by a chair with Edison's direct current. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, that was what I meant by the Current Wars... :) I thought Edison's FUD about AC vs. DC would have been debunked by 1942, which was almost 60 years after... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, Marston certainly loved crank science, so it's not surprising he should have been behind the times. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Edison also persuaded the Humane Society to have a rogue elephant put down with AC-- and filmed it. I suppose we should be glad this was a silent film. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkBU3aYsf0Q) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have never felt the same about Edison since learning about that and similar things he did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thomas Edison was the inspiration for many GA mad scientists. (Reply to this) (Parent)
