Knights of the Galaxy: "The Day the World Melted"
The Master of Doom transports the Galaxy Knights back in time to the 20th Century while he attempts to conquer their own time, and Lyle and his men find themselves fighting to save Earth from nuclear devastation. Ultimately, the power of the H-Bomb they manage to detonate harmlessly in space gives them the energy needed to return home and defeat their nemesis.

| Notes = * "The Day the World Melted", the lead Knights of the Galaxy story, is reprinted in Justice League of America Vol 1 91. * The second story seems in line with Superboy Vol 2 24 where Captain Comet has a comic book; there is no other explanation to how Jimmy knows the hero. * Cowboy on Mars infers that there is a race of humans on Mars living in 1952, and that they have a society heavily focused on livestock farming. | Trivia = | Recommended = | Links =
