Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn II #4

Part four of the six-part "90 Days" saga, this 1991 DC miniseries continues its compelling prison-set Green Lantern story with a cover that puts Hal Jordan front and center — his uniform torn and his arms bound to a pole while an enormous, menacing pink-and-black masked face looms beneath him like a throne. Crowds surge in the chaotic background as onlookers press in from every angle, conveying a scene of public spectacle and real peril. The cover art by Mark Bright and Klaus Janson delivers a vivid sense of a hero at his most vulnerable, making this a genuinely gripping chapter in Giffen and Jones's grounded reimagining of the emerald warrior's early days.
