Synopsis for "The Death of the Six-Sided Sun"

When the city is menaced by a monster from another dimension, Prince Ra-Man arrives on the scene to combat it. The monster, Gorgak the Forerunner, proves himself to be more powerful than Ra-Man, due to an unexplained weakness of the Mind-Master. Ra-Man returns to the lost world of Ra to discover the reason behind his weakened powers. Kranak and Rimah explain that the six-sided sun from which Ra-Man draws his power has been weakening due to a force from beyond their dimension. Kranak gives Ra-Man additional powers, then sends him into the alternate dimension.

Ra-Man arrives in the alien dimension, where he discovers Gorgak's people. They are siphoning off the powers of the six-sided sun for their own evil purposes. With his new powers Ra-Man defeats them and destroys their machines. Ra-Man then returns to Earth where Gorgak exhausts his remaining powers and becomes stranded between dimensions.

The giant leads Bruce to Eclipso, but soon falls under control of his enemy. The giant and Eclipso then release three mutant giants and threaten a nearby town.
