Green Lantern #28
In "The Fool Comes to Town," a 1947 Green Lantern issue, a mysterious criminal named Knodar arrives in the modern world, convinced his talents will finally be recognized. When Alan Scott hears a radio broadcast warning of a Green Lantern in danger, he’s stunned to see the hero crash through his window—lifeless. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Irwin Hasen, with a striking cover by Alex Toth, this issue blends pulp intrigue with the early mystique of the Green Lantern mythos.
When Green Lantern steps in to present a special sports trophy in Alan Scott’s place, the moment turns chaotic as a masked thief known as the Sportsmaster steals the prize right from his hands—leaving the hero with only a trail of clues and a mystery to solve.
In "The Last Criminal on Earth!", Knodar arrives in the 20th century believing his criminal genius will finally be recognized—only to find the world unimpressed. That night, Alan Scott is jolted by a shocking sight: Green Lantern crashes through his window, lifeless.
