☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
In "Lost in Space!", Carol Ferris finds herself caught between loyalty and betrayal when Sinestro reveals he's behind her return as Star Sapphire—only to turn on him when she learns his true plan to destroy Green Lantern.
In "Beware My Power," John Stewart confronts a political conspiracy after a staged assassination attempt on racist politician Jeremiah Clutcher reveals a dangerous manipulation at play. As tensions rise and the Green Lantern Corps grapples with the fallout, Stewart must navigate the line between justice and deception—challenging both the system and his own beliefs.
In "Judgment Day!", Hal Jordan returns to Oa after a year in exile, seeking redemption and a chance to come back to Earth. Facing the weight of his past and a fractured relationship with Carol Ferris, he’s unsure if he still belongs—until she offers him a quiet, heartfelt welcome that rekindles something deeper than duty.
In "Sound and Fury," Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner ditch their Green Lantern rings for a no-holds-barred brawl in a quiet Southern town, only to end up behind bars. When two locals steal the rings and run wild with their power, chaos erupts—while back on Oa, John Stewart faces his own crisis.
In "Lightspeed," Flash, Kid Flash, and Green Lantern join forces to stop Black Hand and Mirror Master, who’ve stolen Kid Flash’s speed. When the young hero loses his powers, Green Lantern lends him a portion of his own willpower—only for the real key to victory to be found in the lightning-fast reflexes of super-speed.
In a quiet moment between past and present, Hal Jordan recalls the first time he ever flew—side by side with his father, the thrill of the open sky etched into his memory. Now, years later, he brings Kyle Rayner back to that same airfield, offering him the same gift: the freedom of flight, unaided by power rings, just like it was meant to be.
