This massive hardcover collects the earliest Silver Age adventures of Hal Jordan, the test pilot chosen by the dying alien Abin Sur to become Earth's Green Lantern. Reprinting Showcase #22-24 and Green Lantern #1-26, it covers the first two years of the character's revival, featuring the debut of his iconic ring, the Guardians of the Universe, and classic foes like Sinestro and Star Sapphire. The volume also includes the original stories from the 1960s that redefined the Green Lantern mythos for a new generation of readers.
"SOS Green Lantern" brings together classic Green Lantern lore in a gripping tale from the Silver Age, written by John Broome and illustrated with bold precision by Gil Kane, with inks by Joe Giella and lettering by Gaspar Saladino. When Tom Kalmaku’s father’s lost gold mine map resurfaces in the hands of the ruthless Duke Danfield, Green Lantern is drawn into a dangerous scheme that leads to a shocking revelation about Hal Jordan’s secret identity. The story’s tension builds with a classic hero’s dilemma, all wrapped in Darwyn Cooke’s striking cover art.
