Stories

  • Day of the Dragon King! · 27 pages

    Both the Justice Society and the All-Star Squadron head to Pearl Harbor. After surveying the damage, most of the heroes leave intending to destroy the Japanese fleet. On the way, those most vulnerable to magic come under the influence of the Holy Grail, in the possession of Tojo. Just as the Spear of Destiny gives Hitler control over the heroes in Europe, the Grail puts the heroes under the control of Japan. As the controlled heroes fight those still free, Dr. Fate pursues Hawkman outside the reach of the Grail, comes to his senses, and sends the Winged Wonder to lure the others to safety.

Publisher’s description

After seeing the carnage left behind in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Justice Society of America decides to take the fight to the Axis Powers directly!
