This issue features "A Prize of Peril" starring Superman and Green Lantern by Denny O'Neil, Dick Dillin, and Joe Giella. Superman and Green Lantern both detect a meteor storm that threatens the Earth. They both act independently but the other hero interferes with their plan. Despite a close call, they manage to stop the meteors. In the aftermath, an argument is sparked.
Suddenly one of the Guardians appears and chastises the heroes for not working together. He then sets up a competition to settle their disagreement. Doctor Fate is summoned to create a magical test for them. He constructs a course in which Superman and Green Lantern must each overcome one of their fears. Then they reach a space dragon. Green Lantern's power beam releases the dragon which attacks the Justice League satellite. Only by combining their powers are the heroes able to stop the monster.
Superman then realizes that they were tricked. The heroes find Doctor Fate, who is actually their old enemy Felix Faust in disguise. Faust used a phony Guardian to bait the heroes into releasing the dragon. Fortunately, the heroes overcame their personal feud in time to prevent further harm. This has been reprinted in Best of DC #13 (1981), Showcase Presents: World's Finest Vol. 4 TPB (2013), and World's Finest: Guardians of Earth (2020).
