Green Lantern #10

Part two of "A Guy & His Gnort," this 1991 DC issue announces its offbeat tone right on the cover: Guy Gardner grins ear-to-ear on a surveillance monitor, cuddling the dog-like alien Green Lantern Gnort and wearing a "Gardner Guy" dog tag, while a crosshair is trained squarely on him — and an ominous golden hand hovers near a red "FIRE" button below. In the background, a Green Lantern-uniformed figure watches the screen from the shadows of a machinery-filled room, adding a layer of genuine menace to what is otherwise a delightfully absurd scene. Joe Staton's cover work captures the series' knack for blending humor and superhero stakes in a single memorable image.
