“The Scourge of the Seas!”

In "The Scourge of the Seas!", Green Lantern races to contain the flooding aftermath of the Coreville Levees' collapse, confronting the enigmatic Dr. Aqua—a scientific mastermind whose twisted genius turns the waters against the city. Written by Alfred Bester and brought to life by Howard Purcell’s dynamic art, this 1947 classic blends pulp adventure with early superhero spectacle. The cover by Irwin Hasen captures the stormy tension of the moment, a striking visual that echoes the story’s urgent tone.
