...Wonder Woman, currently powerless, and living in Man's World as Diana Prince, fashionable Greenwich Village fashion boutique owner, attempts to aid her neighbors with a unique problem!
The boyfriend of one of the neighbors has been turned into a frog...specifically, a talking frog!
Considering her history of dealing with mystical menaces, Diana, even without her enhanced Amazon abilities, has no intention of allowing this to continue...
Yeah, it's the old "kiss the frog and he turns into a (nerdy) prince" trope!
We learn in this Mike Sekowsky-scripted/penciled and Dick Giordano-inked tale from DC's Wonder Woman #186 (1970) that not only is I-Ching a martial arts master, he's also a mystic arts master!
Morgana would reappear, but not in the pages of Wonder Woman!
Several months later, Supergirl (also written and penciled by Sekowsky) would run into a magician named Zond who, to put it politely, whups her real good!
(In pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths days, Kryptonians like Supergirl and Superman were vulnerable to only two things...Kryptonite and magic!)

The Girl of Steel goes to Diana Prince for two reasons:
1) to see if the former Amazon Princess can help her stop Zond.
2) to get a new outfit, since her costume was shredded during the battle!
Diana provides Supergirl with a "mod" costume (which becomes her primary garb for several years) and summons Morgana to help them against Zond, who, as it turns out, Morgana has a grudge against!
You can read that story, which we presented several Halloweens ago HERE and HERE!
