We begin with "Spawn" written and penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Mike Royer. Orion is captured by Slig of the Deep Six, but manages to break free and kills Slig in battle. Meanwhile, Sgt. "Terrible" Turpin of the Metropolis police force starts investigating the mystery of Inter-Gang's actions in the city and Kalibak arrives on Earth looking for Orion.

Our first backup is Manhunter in "Scavenger Hunt" written and penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Joe Simon and reprinted from Adventure Comics #74 (1942). While attending a costume party, Paul Kirk interrupts a dispute between two guests, Henry and Big Droop. Kirk suggests settling the dispute by competing in a scavenger hunt. Then as the Manhunter, Kirk assists Henry in tracking down and capturing Crusher Burns, a wanted felon, that is Henry’s target for the hunt. As a result, Henry successfully completes his mission and wins a date with Patty, another party guest.
We end with "Introducing Fastbak" written and penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Vince Colletta. Fastbak, a young god of New Genesis, is surpassed in speed only by Lightray, but his races are usually cut short for singing practice.
