Green Lantern #151

Green Lantern soars above a gleaming cityscape on this August 2002 cover, his ring blazing with brilliant emerald energy as he streaks forward with a confident grin — a portrait of a hero fully in his element. The cover art by Jim Lee and Scott Williams makes the most of that dynamic angle, with the city's towers receding below as the power ring's glow engulfs the entire figure. Judd Winick, Dale Eaglesham, and Rodney Ramos bring the story titled "In Brightest Day" to life inside, and this issue is a fine jumping-on point for anyone drawn to Green Lantern at his most assured.
