All Hero Comics #1 is an anthology featuring multiple Fawcett superheroes. One story involves Lance O'Casey and fellow heroes encountering a Japanese submarine during wartime naval combat, eventually proposing an alliance with captured enemy pirates to fight the vessel. Another story features Ibis confronting a malevolent creature called the Hydra, described as a newly born disease of the modern age that preys on goodness in men's souls, with Ibis using magical charm to combat the threat. A third story shows Golden Arrow in a gunfight with criminals, including a scene where dynamite backfires during a bank robbery confrontation with villains named Kalman and Jenkins.

When a many-headed Hydra begins prowling through the city at night, leaving death and madness in its wake, even the mighty Ibis finds his ancient magic powerless against this modern evil. Enter Banshee O'Brien, a quick-witted young enchanter who possesses a very different kind of sorcery—one born from the streets of the 20th century rather than the dusty tomes of ages past.
