About this Collection

This 2006 DC collection brings together a selection of key Green Lantern stories from across the character's Silver Age and Bronze Age history, featuring tales by writers like John Broome and artists like Gil Kane. It includes classic adventures of Hal Jordan, as well as appearances by other Lanterns such as Alan Scott and Guy Gardner, spanning from the 1960s to the 1980s. The volume serves as a sampler of the franchise's most celebrated moments, from the origin of the Green Lantern Corps to epic battles with villains like Sinestro and Star Sapphire.

"SOS Green Lantern!" brings together Denny O'Neil’s sharp storytelling and Neal Adams’ powerful art in a standout tale from Green Lantern: The Greatest Stories Ever Told. When Guy Gardner is injured, Hal Jordan is tasked with training a new backup, but John Stewart’s approach to justice takes a different turn—especially when a suspicious assassination attempt on racist politician Jeremiah Clutcher reveals a deeper, more troubling scheme. Alex Ross’s striking cover captures the tension, while the story unfolds with the grounded intensity that defines this era of the Green Lantern mythos.
