In "El planeta de los seres acosados," the Puppeteer unleashes a hypnotic ray to manipulate others into committing crimes, escalating his schemes until he targets Green Lantern—only to be outwitted and captured in turn. Meanwhile, Carola Ferris finds herself caught in a daydream about marrying the Green Lantern, her thoughts drifting as the city's tension mounts. Written by John Broome and illustrated with bold precision by Gil Kane, with inks by Joe Giella, the cover by Gil Kane and Joe Giella captures the eerie, theatrical menace of the story.
