Stories

The Bomb-Blast Heard 'Round the World! · 23 pages
The heroes go to 1962 on Earth-Prime in order to stop the Crime Syndicate from stealing the nuclear weapons in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, thereby preventing the nuclear holocaust future they saw in 1982 on Earth-Prime. Their next mission: Stop Per Degaton and restore the Earth-Two timeline.
Fate Is the Killer · 14 pages
In Eternia, Zodac attempts to warn Prince Adam about a death he has foreseen. Skeletor searches the Dark Sea for the missing half of the Power Sword. On Earth, Superman follows three energy spheres underwater, where he is pulled into a vortex. Superman arrives in Eternia, and is faced with Skeletor, Beast-Man and Mer-Man. Superman gets one half of the Power Sword away from Skeletor, but Skeletor attacks with the remaining half. He-Man arrives and picks up the fallen half, hurling it at Skeletor. The power of the sword disintegrates Skeletor. He-Man dies but is revived by the sword's energies.
