Plot Synopsis: Eros falls in love with Wonder Woman but is rejected by her. In revenge, he fires arrows into her and Superman that causes them to fall in love with each other instead!


 
Favorite panel here: "There is, perhaps, an inevitability about such things". Right you are!



Favorite panels: "Th- The man you love?! But... I thought... That was me!" "Dames! Who can figure 'em! Right, colonel?" Gotta love the ‘80s. This could have been the plot of any family sitcom. The panel embodies the sentiments of the times. Comics were a means for male infused escapism. Steve Trevor was pretty much the standard default "military" character back then.



Once Superman saves Lois from the usual car crashing proceedings, he jumps right into Wonder Woman’s arms without missing a beat.
Favorite panel: "... That Superman may just be in love with the one woman they've always known, deep in their hearts, was ideal for him!" Huh? You don't say... I kind of agree.



Favorite panel: "Thanks! I needed that!" "Frankly, so did I! Not exactly a cold shower... but it did the trick!" Superman's and Wonder Woman's banter was always funny and witty even in the golden age. They exuded the sense of a a real comfortable friendship.



The last panel on these pages would encompass the feelings of the inevitability of things to come in the future. “Tomorrow” indeed...
