Green Lantern #36

The fiery red-orange cover of this April 1965 issue says it all — Green Lantern looms over a pinned opponent, power ring gleaming, while his own thought bubble delivers a genuinely unsettling twist: "I've been turned into a robot — and didn't even know it!" Gil Kane's dynamic pencils and Murphy Anderson's inks make the confrontation crackle with urgency, the arc of Hal's body and the opponent's gun adding real tension to every inch of the composition. Featuring Gardner Fox's story "Secret of the Power-Ringed Robot!" this is Silver Age DC storytelling at its most wonderfully inventive.
