Wonder Woman (Volume 1) with a cover date of October, 1969.
Synopsis for "The Last Battle"
Diana hits on the idea of going to another dimension where King Arthur and heroes of legend still exist and asking for their help in repelling Mars's troops. Drusilla, the Amazons' messenger, takes her to that realm, in which Arthur is holding a tournament of heroes. But none of them wish to go to war again, even after Diana tells them Mars is on the march again. A fight begins between Diana and Siegfried, but the Valkyrie Brunhilde stops it and tells Diana she and her Valkyries would be proud to aid the Amazons. Thus, Diana returns with the Nordic war-women and begin their final engagement with Mars's forces. Before long, they are joined by Roland and the other heroes from Arthur's realm, and Mars's army is defeated. Hippolyte awakens from her sleep, and Mars brings an unconscious Diana back to her, honoring his opponent, but telling her that he will eventually return. Roland, Brunnhilde, and all the other heroes and Valkyries depart. Paradise Island is rebuilt, and I-Ching opts to stay there awhile and study its ancient mysteries. Drusilla takes Diana back to her apartment on Earth, where she finds a frightened young girl who claims, "I thought you were--them!"

- The Camelot seen in this issue is in a magical dimension and seems to be inhabited by the spirits of heroes who died in wars. It is apparently not the earthly Camelot seen in most DC comics.
