In "…And a Child Shall Destroy Them!", Green Lantern and Green Arrow join Dinah at a mysterious private school run by Jason Belmore, where they meet the enigmatic cook Grandy and a young girl named Sybil, whose psychic abilities hint at a deeper secret. As tensions rise and the school's true nature begins to unravel, the heroes must confront a shocking revelation about control, power, and the cost of order—penciled with raw intensity by Neal Adams and inked with precision by Dick Giordano, all under Denny O'Neil’s sharp storytelling. The cover, also by Neal Adams, captures the moment’s eerie stillness with haunting clarity.

Green Lantern and Green Arrow accompany Dinah as she begins a job at a private school where they are greeted by the cook Grandy, a little girl with psychic powers named Sybil, and the owner Jason Belmore. After Belmore asks the costumed heroes to leave, Dinah is confronted by Grandy, who explains that in Sybil he finally found a way to keep the children of the school in order. Green Lantern and Green Arrow return to the school in time to save Dinah, and when Grandy orders Sybil to attack GL, she refuses and brings down the roof on herself and Grandy.
