Mxy sends the heroes to Hoppy the Marvel Bunny's universe, trading them for Hoppy and Millie. But realizing Mr. Mind is serious about killing Captain Marvel and Superman, Mxy says his name backwards and reverses all of his spells, leaving Mr. Mind and King Kull at the mercy of Superman and the entire Marvel Family.

Indexer Notes

Credits for pencils and inks recorded from Julius Schwartz's editorial records, provided by DC Comics. Schwartz' records credit both Thomas and Gerry Conway with the script, the printed credits credit Thomas with script and Conway with a plotting assist, but Thomas says "The credits on DC COMICS PRESENTS #34 are definitely wrong. Gerry had no part in that issue, only in plotting part 1 in #33 from my concept."
