Uncle Sam and his Freedom Fighters come from one such earth, affectionately called Earth-X. (see Who'sWho profile)
They have traveled to Earth-1 chasing some random no-name villain.
Barging into the United Nations may end up casting them in the role of villain instead.
These gentlemen aren't very subtle in talking to
or ogling Wonder Woman. Not smart.
Cover artist Ernie Chan has Wonder Woman battling the Freedom Fighters high above United Nations Plaza.
Interior art team Ramona Fradon and Vince Colletta present a personal favorite.
I enjoy a good hero-vs-hero throw-down, especially when its a cat-fight. But this one may have a decidedly more tragic ending.
The Freedom Fighters have killed Wonder Woman!?
Say it ain't say! She can't really be dead.
C'mon, who's kidding who?
Like DC is going to kill off Wonder Woman in some C-list title like Freedom Fighters. Even when she died in her own comic she never stayed dead.
These are the only two issues of Freedom Fighters I have. And honestly that's just because of Wonder Woman's appearance.
Who's Who profile - 1985
Phantom Lady, Uncle Sam and the rest of the Freedom Fighters were originally published by Quality Comics. DC kindly acquired them.
The Multiverse made sense - It explained how all those great classic characters and their adventures happened. Including ones from your own long history. I'm looking at you Justice Society and Earth-2.
