Green Lantern #27

From 1964, this Silver Age DC gem presents a genuinely unsettling premise right on the cover by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson: Green Lantern stands confidently in full costume amid a city street, seemingly unaware that the ghostly, uncolored figures of an older man, a young boy, and a woman are desperately reaching out and pleading for his help. The speech bubbles make the dilemma chillingly clear — these people are crying out to him, yet he apparently cannot see or hear them at all. Titled "Mystery of the Deserted City!" and crafted by writer Gardner Fox and artist Gil Kane, this issue promises exactly the kind of imaginative, high-stakes puzzle that made Silver Age DC storytelling so compelling.
