Too Dangerous For a Girl has moved to new premises. Please head for the Wordpress site at: https://dangermart.blog

Princess Diana of the Amazons is growing up on Themyscira. Steve Trevor is undergoing rites of passage in the Air Force. Diana gets bitten by a snake. Steve is named godfather to his friends' baby.
