“Summons from Space!”

A ten-cent thrill from 1959, this Gil Kane and Joe Giella cover crackles with cold-war tension as Green Lantern faces a pink-and-yellow-clad villain — billed as "The Invisible Destroyer" — seated at a control panel while a mushroom cloud billows on the monitor behind him. The villain's boast that even the mighty power ring can't stop an atomic bomb explosion gives the standoff an urgent, high-stakes charge. John Broome and Kane were clearly swinging for the fences with this Showcase spotlight on the emerald hero.
