“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Earth!”

In "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Earth!", Green Lantern faces an unexpected challenge when a malfunctioning toy robot from the planet Ghyra crash-lands on Earth and stirs up trouble—especially when a gang of crooks hijacks it. As Hal Jordan steps into a new role as a salesman for the Merlin Toy Company, he’s thrust into a bizarre situation where his latest product becomes a real-life menace. Written by John Broome and illustrated with dynamic precision by Gil Kane, with inks by Vince Colletta and letters by Joe Letterese, this 1969 issue features a cover by Gil Kane that captures the chaos in bold, expressive detail.
