All-Star Squadron #4
In "Day of the Dragon King!", the All-Star Squadron and the Justice Society converge at Pearl Harbor, still reeling from the attack. As the heroes prepare to strike back at the Japanese fleet, a hidden power—the Holy Grail, wielded by Tojo—begins to twist minds, turning some against their allies. With magic seeping through the air and control slipping, Dr. Fate breaks free and sends Hawkman on a desperate mission to save the others before the Grail's influence spreads further. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Rich Buckler, with inks by Jerry Ordway and colors by Carl Gafford, this pivotal issue features a cover by Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano.

Both the Justice Society and the All-Star Squadron head to Pearl Harbor. After surveying the damage, most of the heroes leave intending to destroy the Japanese fleet. On the way, those most vulnerable to magic come under the influence of the Holy Grail, in the possession of Tojo. Just as the Spear of Destiny gives Hitler control over the heroes in Europe, the Grail puts the heroes under the control of Japan. As the controlled heroes fight those still free, Dr. Fate pursues Hawkman outside the reach of the Grail, comes to his senses, and sends the Winged Wonder to lure the others to safety.
