Super Heroes Album #9

In "A Day in the Death of a World!" from Super Heroes Album #9 (1978), the Legion races against time to evacuate the doomed planet Mordan as its star hurtles toward nova, only to face the Fatal Five, who seek to transform the planet’s people into rare energite at the moment of destruction—holding Karate Kid and Princess Projectra hostage to ensure the Legion stays out of their way.

In "3 Hours to... Holocaust! Chapter 2 [A Day in the Death of a World!]", the Legion of Super-Heroes races against time to stop the Fatal Five from triggering a star’s collapse, only to face a desperate final gambit when Tharok sacrifices the ship to escape their grasp. With the threat momentarily contained but the villains still at large, Superboy knows this isn’t the end—just a pause in a battle that’s far from over.

In "Chapter 2 Half-Human, Half-Clay," written by Jack Miller, the Sea Devils and four other frogmen clash in a high-stakes race to claim a powerful molecular transfer ray, a device tied to a long-lost race of reptile-men from another dimension. The fate of the ray—and what it might unlock—hangs in the balance as each faction pushes their own agenda in a tense, underwater showdown.
