“There Shall Come a Gathering”

In "There Shall Come a Gathering," a mysterious force unravels time itself, sending dinosaurs loose, hurling Earth from its orbit, and scattering heroes across eras. Green Lantern, Atom, Flash, and Adam Strange face off against gold robots in space, while Lois Lane, Creeper, and the Challengers race to unlock a massive green alien box in the Rockies. Meanwhile, Metal Men and Teen Titans fend off Viking and Nazi invaders, and the Phantom Stranger leads a seance to summon the Spectre—whose power may be the only hope to restore the planet. Written by Paul Kupperberg and Paul Levitz, with dynamic art by Joe Staton and bold cover by Staton and Dick Giordano, this 1978 Showcase #100 is a thrilling, multiversal crossover that brings together DC’s greatest heroes in a battle for the fate of time itself.
