Green Lantern #162

In "You're Not the Boss of Me," Green Lantern faces a test of willpower unlike any he's encountered before, as a mysterious force challenges his authority in ways that blur the line between duty and defiance. Written by Judd Winick and brought to life with gritty, expressive art by Charlie Adlard—both interior and cover—this 2003 issue stands out for its sharp character focus and atmospheric tension, all set against a backdrop of pop culture ephemera that grounds the story in its era.
