Green Lantern #163

Green Lantern hurls himself through the star-scattered void of outer space on this April 1983 cover, his power ring blazing as he clutches his emerald lantern with fierce determination — while a young woman in purple lies vulnerable below him, clearly in need of rescue. Keith Pollard and Rick Hoberg deliver a dynamic, kinetic composition that captures the cosmic scale DC was promising readers with its "More Outer-Space Action with the Green Lantern Corps" banner. Part II of "…Or Give Me Death" looks poised to push Hal Jordan to his limits, and this cover makes a compelling case for picking it up.
