Showcase 1956 #100 - reader copy - $3.00
Some unknown force is disrupting the fabric of time and pulling the Earth out of orbit. Volcanoes explode, dinosaurs rampage, and heroes from all times pop up everywhere. Green Lantern, Atom, Flash, and Adam Strange fly to an orbiting spaceship and battle gold robots. Lois Lane, Creeper, and the Challengers fly to the Rocky Mountains to crack a big green alien box. Metal Men and Teen Titans quash Vikings and Nazis. Phantom Stranger gathers heroes and holds a seance to summon the Spectre; together they return the Earth to its orbit. Lois Lane and Angel O'Day repel the alien responsible.
