☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Doom of the Star Diamond!" is a standout tale from the World's Best Comics: Silver Age Sampler, featuring a classic Gardner Fox script and dynamic art by Mike Sekowsky, with inks by Bernard Sachs and lettering by Gaspar Saladino. When dictator Xandor exiles the alien Carthan to Earth with three mysterious machines that threaten to blind him if he leaves—unless he destroys the planet—Carthan challenges the JLA, now including Green Arrow, to stop them. The cover, a collaborative effort by Sekowsky, Kubert, and Swan with inks by Sachs and Anderson, captures the high-stakes tension of a planet in peril.
In "Doom of the Star Diamond!", the Justice League of America—now with Green Arrow—faces a desperate test when exiled rebel Carthan arrives on Earth, burdened by a deadly choice: destroy three planet-anchoring machines to regain his sight and freedom, or risk blinding himself if he tries to leave without removing their coverings. With the fate of Earth hanging in the balance, the JLA must confront Carthan’s hidden prison inside a living diamond, where time and trust are the real enemies.
Superboy is invited to join the Legion of Super-Heroes by Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, and Saturn Girl, who test him with three playful challenges. Though he fumbles each one, the teens reveal their antics were just an initiation — and they’re impressed by his good humor under pressure.
