Green Lantern #174

Green Lantern rockets upward over a city skyline, his power ring blazing with green energy, while a massive crashing aircraft dominates the upper portion of Dave Gibbons' dynamic cover — and the bold tagline "Target: Ferris!" makes clear that someone has Hal Jordan's world squarely in their sights. Len Wein and Gibbons were a sharp creative pairing in 1984, and this issue — teased by the intriguing story title "I Shot a Javelin Into the Air...!" — promises aerial danger and high stakes for everyone connected to Ferris Aircraft. It's a sharp, cleanly composed cover that captures everything appealing about this era of DC superhero storytelling.
