Wonder Woman #192

Wonder Woman #192 (On Sale: November 3, 1970), has another great cover by Mike Sekowsky and Dick Giordano.

Continuing from the last issue we have "Assault on Castle Skull" written and penciled by Mike Sekowsky and inked by Dick Giordano. Ranagor and his army attack Castle Skull which is held by the evil queen of Chalandor. The battle goes poorly at first, so Diana instructs Ranagor's army in the construction of cannons. The cannons help the attackers turn the tide of the battle, but the losses on both sides continue to grow. Diana then decides to challenge the queen to single combat. 

The queen sends a champion to fight Ranagor, while Diana faces the queen. When Ranagor wins his duel, the queen retreats. Diana then leads the army on a final siege of the castle. They defeat the queen's army and force her surrender.

After the battle, Queen Hippolyta and the Amazons arrive. Diana then departs with them for Paradise Island. Reprinted in Diana Prince: Wonder Woman Vol. 3 TPB (2009).
