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.
