Green Lantern #118

The cover of issue #118 promises high stakes for DC's "Emerald Crusaders," with the bold headline "Double Death for the Emerald Crusaders!" setting an ominous tone. Cover artists Alex Saviuk and Dick Giordano stage a striking composition: a menacing green-tinted villain looms large alongside a distressed woman, while a circular vignette below shows Green Lantern and Green Arrow locked in fierce combat against a purple-clad adversary — all punctuated by the chilling taunt, "You have sent your partner on a mission, Green Lantern — a mission from which he shall NEVER RETURN!" With Denny O'Neil scripting "Hell Quest!" and the Saviuk/Giordano team delivering a cover full of dread and action, this 1979 issue makes a compelling case for what the Green Lantern/Green Arrow team-up title did so well.
