Gigant #3/1980

In "Snowbirds Don't Fly," the origins of the Lagens Väktare are revealed to Green Lantern, tracing back to a pivotal moment when J'onn J'onnz pursued the Martian commander Blanx on Earth. With help from nearly every hero on the planet, the team was formed to stand against evil—though not all who joined had pure intentions. Written by Steve Englehart and Hans Jonsson, with art by Dick Dillin and inks by Frank McLaughlin, this 1980 Semic issue unfolds a defining chapter in the team's history, all under a cover by an unnamed artist.
