- When a World Dies Screaming! · 24 pages
Ray Palmer and his colleague David Dorman discover that the heretofore-unknown X-Element is decaying, and because it is vital to all chemical reactions, it will disrupt the laws of physics and cause untold chaos around the world. As the entire Justice League begins to face the crisis, alien beings called the Treasurers arrive and offer their help -- for a price.
Publisher’s description
Physicists Ray Palmer and David Dorman discover an “X-Element,” a vital catalyst for all basic chemical reactions, which is about to decay, thus disrupting all natural activity on Earth. As the Atom, Ray summons the Justice League, which splits up into sub-teams to stave off worldwide catastrophe. Just as all seems lost, aliens called the Treasurers appear, offering to reverse the decay of the X-Element in return for specimens of Earth flora and fauna, including, unknown to the JLA, one human: a seemingly ordinary postal clerk named George Arthur Stuart.
