"Wonder Woman's Invisible Twin" 1953 In Wonder Woman #59, the Golden Age Wonder Woman meets her counterpart in a parallel world, later designated Earth-59, introducing the concept of the DC Multiverse.Template:Efn Diana's counterpart is Princess Tara Terruna, which translates into the titular "Wonder Woman" of her world. Together, they defeat the evil Duke Dazam.

Tara refers to Diana and herself as "reflections in a mirror," leading Diana to conclude: "Earth must have a twin world, existing simultaneously alongside it! But developing differently! And everyone on it is a double of everyone on Earth! The electrical storm somehow hurled me from my world into yours!" The accompanying artwork by H.G. Peter depicting the famous "twin Earths" imagery that would later be associated with DC's concept of the Multiverse.[1]

The story is credited to Robert Kanigher who used the pseudonym of "Charles Moulton" as an in-house author name following the passing of William Moulton Marston, the original author of Wonder Woman.
