Dr. Fate: The Murray Comics one-shot

Murray Comics' Dr. Fate one-shot was published c.September 1982:

This cover is a composite of elements from two separate DC covers:

DC Comics Presents #23

The Brave and the Bold #156

This issue compiles prominent Dr. Fate stories from the mid-70's to 1982. The two team-up stories from the issues above are included, as are the backup stories appearing in The Flash #'s306-310, and the eponymous Dr. Fate story (aka The Mummy That Time Forgot) which originally appeared in 1st Issue Special #9 and was reprinted in DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #3 which is cover-dated July-August 1980:

Dr. Fate's speech balloon on this cover advises that this issue contains his "only full-length adventure". This surprised me, but my greater surprise was to realise that there were no self-titled Dr. Fate issues or series before this Murray edition, and that this may indeed be the first such title in the world - at least it appears so, according to the GCD (even if the GCD erroneously dates this issue to 1981).

This issue also contains a two-page Batman filler, The Impossible Murder (A Just-A-Moment Thriller) originally published in Batman #347.

One might quibble about the relevance of the filler feature, and perhaps the sequencing of the stories in this issue, but in compiling these extant Dr.Fate stories and artfully contriving a front cover image from disparate sources, this is one of those issues that Murray got right.
