Stranded in the past and grappling with the strange weight of his own actions, he eventually returns to the present with a changed perspective—leading him to reconsider the justice he once handed down. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Paul Reinman, with inks by Reinman and letters by Joe Letterese, the story unfolds with a quiet, eerie tension, while Wally Wood’s striking cover captures the moment of temporal dislocation.

Now, with a second chance, he confronts the consequences of his earlier sentence, questioning the justice he once believed in.
