Green Lantern #24
In "Once a Cop," Green Lantern #24 (1947) delivers a moody, noir-tinged mystery as the Emerald Crusader and his partner Doiby Dickles find themselves entangled in a jewel heist with a personal twist. With Goitrude's birthday casting a shadow over her loneliness, the arrival of the enigmatic car enthusiast Phineas Wren sets off a chain of events that pulls the duo into a dangerous pursuit. Written by Alfred Bester and illustrated by Martin Nodell, with a cover by Irwin Hasen, this 1947 classic blends early superhero intrigue with a touch of hard-boiled charm.
In "Happy Boithday!", Jo finds herself at the center of a birthday mystery when her feelings of neglect toward Doiby are overshadowed by the unexpected attention of Phineas Wren, a flamboyant car enthusiast with a knack for trouble. As the Emerald Crusader and the ever-loyal hackie follow a trail of clues, they're drawn into a high-speed chase that leads straight to a stolen necklace—and a secret that could change everything.
In "Indestructible Jones!", a trio of newly freed convicts try to cash in on a suicide insurance policy—only to find their target, Jo, immune to every attempt to end his life. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1947 Green Lantern tale spins a bizarre, deadpan mystery around a man who simply won’t die.
