Following the battle with the Ultra-Humanite, the Atom collapses. The JSA arrives at his bedside and using Wonder Woman’s Magic Sphere, they learn where Dr. Fate has been.

In search of the missing Spectre, Dr. Fate locates the body of Jim Corrigan surrounded by a spell at the bottom of a lake. Investigating further he finds a portal leading to the Spectre, who has been ensorceled by his old foe Kulak. Fate and Spectre battle each other, with the Spectre triumphing. Kulak then begins entering Earth’s dimension through a portal in the sky.
