Green Lantern #41

The cover of this June 1993 issue says it all — Green Lantern is caught mid-stagger, bloodied by a brutal slash from a fearsome, blade-clawed villain in a black-and-white costume, while a screaming woman is caught in the chaos and bystanders scramble in the background. M. D. Bright and Romeo Tanghal bring real visceral energy to the scene, with that jagged "SLASHED!" logo leaving no doubt about the danger our hero is facing. "Predators and Prey" sounds like exactly the kind of high-stakes street-level threat that writer Gerard Jones handled with sharp confidence throughout this era of the title.
