Talk About a Magic Lasso! [Comics]

The situation: The Secret Society of Super-Villains have hatched a crazy plan to destroy the members of the Justice League. To wit: instead of attacking the entire League, they're going to try to pick them off one by one. Brilliant! Why did it take until 1977 for them to think of it? Well, anyway, Batman and Green Lantern are already down for the count when those nefarious villains turn their attention towards Wonder Woman. Knowing she lives in New York, the evil Society attacks and begins to topple the United Nations Building!


















That was some punch by Bizarro! But Wonder Woman is on it. She telepathically summons her invisible robot plane (!), leaps onto a wing, and somehow tosses her lasso around the entire building!


















Then, using a peculiar form of leverage while on the wing of the moving jet that, were I an expert, would seem to me to surely violate a law of physics or two, pulls the building upright!



















That, my friends, is a magic lasso.

(and on the next page she gets punched unconscious by the stupidest super-villain ever, The Angler, but that's neither here nor there).
