Green Lantern #1
The Fall 1941 launch of Green Lantern's very own solo title arrives with a striking cover by Howard Purcell: the red-and-green-costumed hero squares off against a gray-haired man atop an enormous glowing lantern, while a masked face looms large in green behind them both. At a dime a copy, this inaugural issue also promises "Green Lantern: His Personal History," written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Marty Nodell — a tantalizing look at the man behind the mask.

After the district attorney accuses Boss Filch of stealing money meant for pneumonia serum and winds up dead, Green Lantern confronts Filch, but gets nowhere. GL mounts his own campaign to raise funds, stopping an impostor along the way, until Filch's son gets sick. Filch promises to confess to his grafting in exchange for help saving his boy. But Filch fingers Commissioner Merril, his partner in crime, as responsible for the D.A.'s murderer, so GL confronts him and collects the evidence needed to put him away too.
