Joe Bloke shares a reprint of a reprint of a vintage Gardner Fox/Howard Sherman DR. FATE story from MORE FUN COMICS! DR. FATE started as a weird sorcerous figure with that cool helmet and ended up as a punch-em-first superhero with a dorky yellow half-helmet. This story is from the “cool” first period.
