Bring on the Bad Guys: Karl Schultz

Real name: Karl Schultz
A.K.A.: Prince Hylo Goulash
First appearance: Sensation Comics I#16 (April 1943)
Abilities: Spy
Quotes:
Worst act: Breaking Etta Candy's heart, also Nazi
Created by: William Moulton Marston (script), Harry G. Peters (pencils/inks)

An Etta centric foe this time. Etta sends words to her friends back East that's she's getting hitched to Prince Hylo Goulash. Her friends mostly feign pity for the poor groom, but things seems odd when Diana spots the groom to be passionately kissing Fifi La Strange.

One exploding oil well later, Steve is kidnapped. Wonder Woman and the Holliday Girl Marching Band to the rescue!

Along the way they encounter a group of Mexican banditos so over the top Speedy Gonzales would be ashamed. There's actually a reason for this as these Mexicans are actually Italian spies. The Holliday Girls escape their clutches by playing...as Latins love music. As you do.

Pity that Schultz's hiding out on top the mountain. The Holliday Girls come to the rescue again, mostly strapping Wonder Woman to a giant kite and flying her to the top.

Wonder Woman mops the floor with Schultz and drags him back to the chapel, where a rightfully angry Etta beats him senseless.
