Green Lantern #182

In "It's a Dirty Job, But...!", John Stewart is officially named the new Green Lantern by the Guardians of the Universe, thrust into action as he races to stop Major Disaster from destroying a dam. Meanwhile, Hal Jordan pays a quiet visit to Abin Sur’s grave, reflecting on his own origin, while uncovering John Stewart’s secret identity—just as Bruce Gordon experiences a troubling premonition about Eclipso. Written by Len Wein and illustrated with sharp precision by Dave Gibbons—whose dynamic cover pencils and inks capture the issue’s intensity—this 1984 DC classic marks a pivotal moment in the Green Lantern mythos.
