☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Green Lantern, Our New Police Chief," the mysterious murders of two Middle Village police chiefs thrust the Master of Light into an unexpected role—temporarily stepping in as police chief, with Doiby in his own distinctive Green Lantern costume serving as his second. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Irwin Hasen, this 1942 issue presents a rare early glimpse of Green Lantern in a civilian law enforcement role, with Hasen handling both the interior art and the cover.
When two police chiefs in Middle Village are murdered under mysterious circumstances, the Master of Light steps in to fill the void—taking on the role of police chief himself, donned in a striking Green Lantern costume, with Doiby serving as his trusted second. It's a bold move for a hero not known for law enforcement, but with the city in turmoil, even the most unusual solutions might be needed.
In "The Strange Case of the Disappearing Books," the Atom investigates a peculiar theft at Calvin College, where two young men posing as students have vanished with rare books from the library—leaving behind only a trail of clues and a mystery that demands a hero with a small size and a big mind.
