☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume kicks off the DC Finest line for Green Lantern, collecting the earliest Silver Age adventures of Hal Jordan from Showcase #22-24 and Green Lantern #1-9. It follows test pilot Hal Jordan's transformation into the Emerald Gladiator after receiving a power ring from the dying alien Abin Sur, pitting him against early foes like Hector Hammond, the Shark, and the Time Commander. The collection also establishes key supporting players, including Carol Ferris, Pieface, and the Guardians of the Universe, as Hal learns the limits and responsibilities of his incredible new abilities.
In "The Defeat of Green Lantern!", Hal Jordan faces his most personal challenge yet as he’s tasked with convincing Katma Tui to stay in the Green Lantern Corps after she announces her resignation. With a carefully crafted ruse, Hal pushes her to confront the strength of her loyalty—testing it against her deep bond with Imi Kann—while the weight of her choices hangs in the balance. Written by John Broome and brought to life with dynamic art by Gil Kane, inks by Sid Greene, and lettering by Gaspar Saladino, this 2025 issue features a cover by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson that captures the emotional intensity of the moment.
