Green Lantern #17

This October 1991 issue brings the "Mosaic" arc to a close with its fourth and final chapter, and M. D. Bright and Romeo Tanghal's cover makes the tension instantly clear — John Stewart strides forward with unmistakable determination, his power ring charged and a discarded lantern swinging behind him as he declares "I'm outta here!" Surrounding him are several red-robed, white-haired figures who appear to be Guardians of the Universe, one hovering in apparent protest while others stand watching near a gleaming yellow structure in the distance. Writer Gerard Jones wraps up this ambitious storyline with a cover that feels genuinely charged with finality.
