| Synopsis | - While vacationing in France, John Jones explores a cave, passes through a time-warp within it, and emerges in the year 1463. There he rescues Captain Louis Moray from minions of the Black Duke, and learns that the Duke has captured Prince Charles, rightful ruler of the province, intent on usurping his throne. The Manhunter rescues Charles, then, assuming his form, rallies the people of the province, turns into his Martian form when the Duke’s men attack, and defeats them. When J’onzz resumes the prince’s human form again, the Duke strikes from hiding and renders him unconscious. J’onzz is imprisoned, unable to return to his Martian form thanks to torches burning in his cell, but the real prince and Captain Moray free him. He then resumes his Martian form and defeats the Duke and the rest of his men. Afterwards, J’onzz makes his way back through the time-warp to 1963 and seals the cavern.
- A faceless criminal, Dr. No-Face, begins a crime spree whose motif is mutilating representations of faces. Batman and Robin capture him, not knowing that such is part of No-Face’s plan.
