“They Say It'll Kill Me... But They Won't Say When!”

In "They Say It'll Kill Me... But They Won't Say When!", Green Lantern confronts a crisis deeper than any villain when he finds Roy, a fellow hero, struggling with addiction in the basement of Oliver Queen’s building. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated with raw intensity by Neal Adams, this pivotal issue sees Green Lantern and Green Arrow team up to dismantle a drug ring tied to a powerful pharmaceutical magnate—only to uncover that the real enemy is far more complex. The cover by Neal Adams captures the weight of the moment, a stark image of a man at the edge of ruin.

Having discovered that Roy is a junkie, Green Arrow sets out to bring the drug traffickers down. Green Lantern returns to Oliver's building and finds Roy curled up in the basement. He takes Roy to Dinah's to straighten out and heads out to find Green Arrow, who has been knocked out by the drug dealers and tossed into the harbor to drown. GA escapes just as GL arrives to take out the goons who threw him into the water. Together the two trace the drugs to pharmaceutical magnate Salomon Hooper and put him out of business. But Roy explains that drugs are not the root problem, just a symptom of it.
