Planche préparatoire par Bob Brown en 1977 pour le N° 231 de Wonder Woman. Diana y affronte Osira, une déesse extraterrestre qui régnait il y a très longtemps sur notre planète en compagnie de son époux Hefnakhti. Après avoir apporté la paix aux anciens égyptiens et supervisé la construction des pyramides, elle et son époux finirent par être emprisonné pour l'éternité, ou presque, à l'intérieur même de l'une de ces pyramides. Des milliers d'années plus tard, en pleine seconde guerre mondiale, une bataille de tanks au milieu du désert endommage les pyramides et réveille Osira, qui tente de mettre un terme au conflit...

In this issue Diana faces Osira, an alien who once ruled the Earth together with her husband Hefnakhti, overseeing the building of the Pyramids and bringing peace tothe Ancient Egyptians, until they were imprisoned for almost eternity inside of these pyramids. Now Osira is back with a vengeance!
