Green Lantern #88

Green Lantern roars through the streets of Los Angeles on a massive construct motorcycle — all green energy and raw momentum — with a dark-haired woman clinging to him as pavement explodes beneath them, palm trees and city high-rises framing the urgency of the moment. The cover tagline "Livin' & Dyin' in L.A.!" sets an appropriately gritty, street-level tone for this July 1997 issue, with Darryl Banks and Terry Austin delivering a kinetic image that feels more action thriller than cosmic adventure. Ron Marz's run on the series had a knack for grounding its hero in real urban settings, and this chapter — titled "...Go Home Again" — looks to deliver exactly that kind of charged, city-bound tension.
