Green Lantern #113

Part one of a two-part showdown, this June 1999 issue of Green Lantern sets the stage for a fiery clash as the flame-wreathed villain Effigy — red-suited, silver-faced, and trailing arcs of burning energy — lunges toward the reader with raw aggression. Looming behind him, Green Lantern stands resolute against a backdrop dominated by an enormous glowing power ring construct, a vivid reminder of just how much force he can bring to bear. Ron Marz scripts the confrontation, with cover art by Darryl Banks and Terry Austin that makes the heat of this rivalry feel almost tangible.
