Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn #5

The penultimate chapter of this 1990 six-part miniseries arrives with a cover by Mark Bright and Klaus Janson that sets the stakes in striking fashion: a massive yellow-armored figure looms triumphantly atop what appears to be an enormous Green Lantern power battery, fists raised, while dozens of Green Lanterns from across the universe are scattered and overwhelmed in every direction. A lone Green Lantern — shown in a separate inset at upper left — stands as a reminder that the Corps still has a champion ready to answer the challenge. With writers Keith Giffen and Gerard Jones steering "The Test," this issue promises the kind of cosmic pressure that only comes when one enemy stands against an entire interstellar police force.
