In "SOS Green Lantern," Green Lantern is called to the Legion of Super-Heroes' headquarters—only to find it vanished, leaving behind only a cryptic distress signal. With the Legion in disarray and Sun Boy suffering from amnesia after a mysterious incident at a charity benefit, the search for answers leads to the unsettling possibility that Dr. Regulus is behind the disappearance. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Shooter and George Papp, this issue blends cosmic mystery with classic superhero intrigue, all framed by Ross Andru and Mike DeCarlo’s dynamic cover.
