Green Lantern #123

After a period sharing the spotlight, Hal Jordan is back on his own — and the cover by Gil Kane announces it with real flair, showing Green Lantern surging forward through the star-scattered void, power ring blazing and a sweeping energy construct arcing behind him against a backdrop of alien terrain. The bold tagline "Mission of No Return!" sets a suitably urgent tone for this December 1979 solo adventure, with the interior brought to life by the creative team of Denny O'Neil, Joe Staton, Dick Giordano, Adrienne Roy, and Milt Snapinn. A fine jumping-on point for anyone ready to follow Earth's emerald guardian back into solo star-spanning action.
