☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1992 volume collects the first half of the landmark Green Lantern/Green Arrow series from the early 1970s, written by Denny O'Neil with art by Neal Adams. It reprints the stories that redefined the Green Lantern mythos by tackling social issues, beginning with the introduction of John Stewart as a new Green Lantern and the cross-country journey that challenged Hal Jordan's worldview.
In "No Evil Shall Escape My Sight!", Green Arrow and Black Canary face off against deadly harpies, forcing Green Arrow to call in Green Lantern for help. When the Lantern is captured by the Witch Queen’s forces, the duo uncovers a secret: a group of Amazons, exiled by a wizard and now returned under the Witch Queen’s command, seek vengeance on all men. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated with powerful precision by Neal Adams, with inks by Dick Giordano and Bernie Wrightson, and lettered by John Costanza, this story blends myth and mystery in a tense, character-driven adventure. The cover, also by Neal Adams, captures the confrontation with striking intensity.
In "Journey to Desolation!" from Hard-Traveling Heroes: The Green Lantern / Green Arrow Collection Volume One, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and the Old-Timer arrive in the oppressive company town of Desolation, where the defiant singer Johnny Walden is set to be executed for stirring rebellion through his songs. With the Guardians having stripped Green Lantern of his full power during his leave, he must rely on courage and solidarity to stand with the townspeople against boss Slapper Soames and his enforcers.
In "A Kind of Loving, a Way of Death!", Black Canary finds herself ensnared by the mind-controlling cult leader Joshua after a violent encounter with thugs. When Green Lantern and Green Arrow track her stolen bike to the cult’s hidden stronghold, they must navigate a dangerous web of loyalty and control—especially as Canary’s own will begins to surface when faced with a command she cannot obey.
In "Ulysses Star Is Still Alive!", Green Lantern and Green Arrow team up to defend Native American land rights against a logging operation, uncovering a forgotten claim tied to a legendary ancestor. While Hal Jordan hunts for proof to back the tribe’s case, Oliver Queen channels the spirit of Ulysses Star to rally the community—though victory on the ground doesn’t guarantee justice in court.
In "Even an Immortal Can Die!", the Guardians of the Universe send the ancient Old-Timer to the planet Gallo for judgment, accompanied by Green Lantern and Green Arrow as witnesses. When the trial collapses into a staged execution with no chance for defense, the heroes uncover a chilling conspiracy—the real Tribune have been replaced by their own mechanic, and justice itself has been corrupted.
In "Death Be My Destiny!", Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and Black Canary accompany the exiled Old-Timer to Maltus, where they uncover a world overwhelmed by Mother Juna’s relentless population efforts. As they confront the consequences of her work, the trio must help the Old-Timer face the daunting task of restoring balance to a planet pushed to its limits.
In "How Do You Fight a Nightmare?", Green Arrow and Black Canary face off against deadly harpies, forcing Green Arrow to summon Green Lantern—only to find him ensnared in a trap set by the Witch Queen and her brother Sinestro. With the help of a group of Amazons who’ve returned from exile, the heroes uncover a dark plot rooted in ancient vengeance, leading them to confront the Witch Queen and the terrifying legend of Medusa.
