Showcase #1

High above a coastal city, a green-suited hero deflects a blazing missile mid-flight — it's a striking image that captures the adventurous spirit DC was channeling in 1956 through its Showcase anthology series. The cover, rendered by John Prentice, places Green Lantern front and center against a sweeping aerial cityscape, his power ring crackling with green energy as he battles the "Menace of the Runaway Missile!" A bold, confident package from DC's Silver Age spotlight title, this is the kind of cover that makes you want to flip straight to the first page.
