All-Star Comics #35

In "The Day That Dropped Out of Time," the Justice Society of America confronts a mystery tied to a mysterious shield from Macedonia and a strange phenomenon where modern inventions vanish without a trace. As the team investigates a wounded Professor Zee’s forgotten invention, they uncover a dangerous threat tied to his lab assistant, Degaton—whose actions have thrown time itself into disarray. With G.L., Johnny, and Wonder Woman guarding the professor, the JSA races to unravel the mystery before the timeline collapses.

In "The Day That Dropped Out of Time, Chapter 1," the Flash races against time to save a dying professor, tracking down penicillin hidden in a time capsule within Colossal Caves—immune to temporal shifts. When he’s captured by Degaton and his men and locked inside the capsule, he uses his speed to burst through the cave wall, freeing himself and the vital medicine. With the penicillin in hand, he subdues Degaton’s forces and dashes to the hospital, leaving the Flash to wonder what pivotal moment in history Degaton is trying to alter.

In "The Day That Dropped Out of Time, Chapter 2," Degaton’s invasion of Gotham stalls when his forces divert to loot an insurance company’s gold vault—until the Atom intervenes. Trapped and imprisoned in the company’s deadly accident exhibit, the Atom narrowly escapes, uncovering that Degaton has altered a past battle before fleeing to warn the others.

In "The Day That Dropped Out of Time, Chapter 3," as modern life unravels around them, Hawkman arrives at the Mayor’s office just as Degaton’s armored forces pour from the subway, seizing the city’s leader. With the Mayor taken, Hawkman fights back only to be overpowered and imprisoned in an antique shop, trapped on a canopy bed as Degaton triggers a crushing mechanism—only to narrowly escape with the Mayor’s help.

In "The Day That Dropped Out of Time, Chapter 4," Dr. Mid-Nite races to the Hall of Science, where a panicked group of top scientists faces an impossible choice: rebuild all of modern science or risk permanent change. When the villain Degaton declares he’ll remake the world in his image, Mid-Nite is captured—along with three key scientists—just as a deadly trap springs. With quick thinking and his signature blackout bomb, he escapes and saves the others, then rushes back to the hospital to check on the professor’s condition.

In "The Day That Dropped Out of Time, Interlude," a recovering professor warns the JSA that the villain Degaton has altered history by changing the outcome of the Battle of Arabela in 331 B.C. With time itself unraveling, the team must race to the Colossal Caves and use the professor’s time machine to restore the past—before the damage becomes irreversible. G.L. volunteers to go alone, hoping to retrieve the machine without provoking Degaton, setting the stage for a high-stakes mission into history.

In "The Day That Dropped Out of Time, Chapter 5," Green Lantern races through the Colossal Caves, only to find Degaton’s men preparing to detonate the time machine and send it 10,000 years into the future. After being knocked unconscious, G.L. awakens in a distant future where the Justice Society of America awaits—still determined to alter the fate of the Battle of Arabela. With the time machine on the verge of exploding, Green Lantern uses his ring to leap back 3,000 years, setting the stage for a desperate effort to change history.

In "The Day That Dropped Out of Time, Conclusion," the JSA confronts Degaton’s temporal disruption, stepping back into history to aid Alexander the Great’s army at a critical moment. With the tide turned, Alexander gifts the heroes his shield and dagger—tokens that will later reveal their true significance. As the timeline resets, the Magic Sphere completes its tale, and the world returns to normal, leaving Professor Zee and a strangely reflective Degaton in a quiet lab.
