Green Lantern #25
In "The Diamond Magnet!", Green Lantern faces a bizarre threat when Elmer Quince, a diamond-obsessed man, becomes a living magnet after an accident with a super magnetron at Gotham University—now drawing in any carbon-based material, including diamonds. With crooks eyeing Elmer as a weapon for heists, the hero must act fast to prevent chaos while searching for a cure. Written by Alfred Bester and illustrated by Martin Nodell, with a cover by Irwin Hasen, this 1947 classic blends sci-fi oddity with classic superhero problem-solving.
