In "The Living Graveyard of the Sea, Chapter 1," Green Lantern #3 (1942) delivers a gripping early adventure as Alan, Irene, Doiby, and other survivors drift toward safety—only to be washed ashore on the mysterious Sargasso Island, home to descendants of ancient shipwrecks. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Marty Nodell, this classic tale blends maritime mystery with the nascent heroism of one of DC’s earliest Green Lantern stories, all brought to life with Nodell’s distinctive pencils and inks on the cover as well.
