Green Lantern #128

Cover pencils by Darryl Banks and inks by Andy Smith put Green Lantern front and center amid a field of rubble, his power ring blazing green as two heavily armed, Soviet-insignia-bearing soldiers close in from behind — and the bold cover dare "Come and Get It!" makes the stakes feel delightfully immediate. Writer Jay Faerber and artist Gus Vazquez bring the story inside with "One in a Million," a title that hints at long odds for our emerald hero. It's a punchy September 2000 package that captures exactly the kind of outnumbered-but-unbowed energy that keeps Green Lantern fans coming back.
