Justice League of America #143 (1st Series 1960) June 1977 DC Comics Grade VF - $18.99 @ Atomic Robot
Synopsis for "A Tale of Two Satellites!"
A series of minor conflicts between Wonder Woman and other members of the Justice League comes to a head when the Amazon Princess quits the team in a huff. While the other heroes continue to argue over her departure, and almost disband the team as a result, she encounters the Privateer, a new costumed hero who is actually Mark Shaw, the former Manhunter.
When the two inexplicably come to blows following an encounter with Batman's foes Scarecrow and Poison Ivy, the Privateer realizes that something is amiss, and contacts the Justice League for help.
Meanwhile, it is revealed that Wonder Woman's mind is controlled by the Construct, now reborn as Construct II after his defeat by the Atom, and this enemy is behind a reorganization of the Injustice Gang. Wonder Woman battles Superman for control of the JLA satellite, while the Construct sends a mesmerized Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Mirror Master, Chronos, and Tattooed Man against the other JLA members.
Reaffirming their team spirit, the heroes join forces again to defeat the Injustice Gang, and Wonder Woman is freed from the Construct's control.
From DC Comics
"Am I on trial? "My side" of it is that ever since I asked the Justice League to monitor my performance and make sure I was fit for duty, you've been doing it-- Including all the time since I was supposedly certified fit! No! I am always on trial, and I'm sick of it! Yes, I've been riding Green Arrow and Flash! Oliver Queen is a loud-mouthed know-it-all, and Barry Allen is a closet male chauvinist!" — Wonder WomanWow, sounds like Wonder Woman has been harboring some resentment against her fellow male heroes. If you had been reading the prior issues of Justice League you would have known that this had been brewing for some time.
Something about Wonder Woman hadn't been quite right for a while.
