In "Practice Makes The Perfect Crime!", Hal Jordan faces a twisty case when a bank heist goes awry—only for the fourth man, Pete Claypool, to pull off the job unnoticed. When Pete suddenly inherits wealth and moves next door to Carol Ferris, his jealousy of Hal ignites a dangerous scheme to frame him. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Gil Kane with inks by Sid Greene and colors by Jamison, this Green Lantern Archives entry features a classic mystery with a personal stake, all wrapped in a cover by Gil Kane.
In "The Jailing of Hal Jordan!", Hal Jordan stops a bank heist by the Triple Plays—only for a fourth man, Pete Claypool, to slip through and finish the job. When Pete later inherits a fortune and moves next door to Carol Ferris, his infatuation turns desperate, leading him to frame Hal for the robbery in a bid to win her favor. The story unfolds as Hal must clear his name, testing his resolve and proving his integrity in the face of a personal vendetta.
In "The End of a Gladiator!", Hal Jordan’s body is brought to Oa after a brutal battle with Dr. Polaris, leaving the Guardians to confront the aftermath of his apparent death—especially as his final act saved Tom Kalmaku by draining his ring’s power reserve.
In a time far beyond his own, Hal Jordan’s body vanishes from Oa and awakens in the year 5700 A.D., where he must confront a spreading red virus threatening to consume the cosmos. Stranded in an unfamiliar future, he fights to reclaim his purpose before being hurled back to his own time, where he faces Dr. Polaris and must protect the unlikely hero Pieface.
