This issue contains three single-page Golden Age Gallery pages featuring Dr. Mid-Nite, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern by Mike Clark and Jerry Arcerno.

Synopsis:
Shining Knight is drawn to the site of Camelot and brought under the thrall of Wotan, disguised as King Arthur. Winston Churchill summons the All-Star Squadron including Dr. Fate to find Justin. Wotan’s robotic Merlin causes the crash of Blackhawk’s plane with Hourman aboard. Then he fells both Firebrand and Robotman. Dr. Fate defeats Merlin, but Wotan moves against his old foe intending for the Shining Knight to slay him.
