The stories

Black Flame, a super-powered villainess, tells Supergirl she is her descendant from the 40th century, but Supergirl eventually deduces that she is really from Kandor.

“Special Delivery Death!”

Larry is called in to the offices of J.J. Marvin and handed an envelope, contents unknown. If he will meet Marvin at 5pm in his office, Lance will be given $1000 cash. However, Marvin is murdered right afterwards, and when the Canary rounds up the true killers, Larry is blamed for the murder by the Police.

“Girl in the Golden Flower!”

An alien spore takes root in Brad Mulford's windowbox, blooming into a peculiar flower. Soon after, he begins to have strange dreams of a girl who takes him on various alien travels, but when the flower eventually dies, so does the girl in the dreams.
