In "The World of Living Phantoms!", Hal Jordan answers a double emergency call from Tomar Re, racing between the planet Aku and Tomar Re’s homeworld to confront threats born from the lingering psychic echoes of ancient alien races. Written by John Broome and brought to life by Gil Kane’s dynamic art with Joe Giella’s inks, this 1975 DC Special showcases a rare dual mission for the Green Lantern, blending cosmic mystery with the weight of interstellar duty. The cover, a striking piece by Mike Grell, captures the eerie grandeur of the phantoms at the heart of the story.
