Green Lantern #61

Green Lantern faces some serious trouble in issue #61 (April 1995), as the cover — penciled and inked by Andy Smith — shows him flat on his back, green ring ablaze, while the hulking New God Kalibak looms over him with a raised fist and green-glowing energy crackles nearby. Guest star Darkstar is right in the thick of it, her red-and-white costume vivid against the desert terrain as she braces for the fight, with menacing alien bruisers closing in from behind. Ron Marz scripts and Romeo Tanghal inks this wild collision of DC heavy-hitters — it's a satisfyingly chaotic cover that promises a tough afternoon for everyone involved.
