Green Lantern #148

From January 1982, Green Lantern #148 presents a cover that crackles with urgency: Hal Jordan, in full GL uniform, is shown being pulled skyward against his will by alien forces, while the woman he loves reaches desperately toward him below, a massive spacecraft looming overhead. The cover copy sets the stakes perfectly — a desperate alien race has decided Hal is their only salvation, and they intend to have him one way or another. Penciled by Joe Staton and inked by Steve Mitchell, it's a compelling image that balances cosmic scale with deeply personal consequences, and the promise of Green Lantern Corps backup adventures makes this already-packed issue an even richer read.
