Action Comics Weekly #642

In "Where There Is a Will... Chapter I: The Decision," Green Lantern confronts a crisis of purpose when he chooses to pursue a dangerous theft of nuclear materials over his own struggles. With his ring behaving unpredictably, his mission takes a deadly turn after a break-in at a military compound leaves him mortally wounded. As he lies dying, he channels a final burst of green energy in search of a worthy successor. Written by Elliot S. Maggin and illustrated by Steve Ditko, with inks by Art Thibert and colors by Glenn Whitmore, the issue’s haunting tone is matched by Ross Andru’s striking cover and Eric Shanower’s dynamic inks.
