Magic Menace This Way Comes! Robin is kidnapped by the evil magician Simon Magus, and must psychically transmit images of his predicament to Superman and Batman to be rescued. The heroes travel to New Carthage, where they find a secret cave which leads them to the magical land of Asgard, home of Simon Magus. Batman and Superman meet with Merlin and they work together to overcome several magical obstacles created by Simon, whose ultimate plan is to use Robin's energy to transport himself and his minions into the real world and start a new era of chaos. Batman, Superman and Merlin eventually find a way to Magus' secret hideout, where they distract him, allowing Robin to escape and destroy Magnus portal dimension. With the evil magician defeated, the heroes return to the real world.

One Red Rose For Never! Dinah Lance calls in Green Arrow to help after she is hired for large money to deposit a red rose on a gravesite in Star City, but is attacked by thugs during one such delivery. Soon both he and the entire city learn that the rose is being delivered to the gravesite of Annabel Van Wyck, whose widower, the original Elizar Van Wyck, deeded the land to establish Star City with the provision that one rose be delivered to Annabel's grave every Friday, or the land would be forfeit. Now the modern Elizar Van Wyck claims that the contract has been broken, and demands Star City be ceded to him. GA proves that the modern “Elizar” is really black sheep Jarret Van Wyck, who murdered his brother and posed as him in hopes of gaining control of Star City. Dinah Lance saves Green Arrow with her canary cry when Jarret attempts to murder him.

This Hostage World

Journey Through The Past! Tomorrow, the mutated T. O. Morrow, reviews the history of his creation, the Red Tornado, and promises to revenge himself upon his foe.
