☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis massive black-and-white volume collects Green Lantern stories from the late 1960s and early 1970s, featuring Hal Jordan as Earth's emerald ring-slinger. The collection includes the introduction of John Stewart as a backup Green Lantern, the first appearance of the Floronic Man, and classic Silver Age battles against Sinestro, Black Hand, and other foes. It also crosses over with the Justice League of America and includes guest appearances by Batman, Superman, the Flash, and Wonder Woman during a period when writer Denny O'Neil and artist Neal Adams were redefining the character's cosmic and social relevance.
In "No Evil Shall Escape My Sight!", Hal Jordan, as Green Lantern, rushes to protect Piper's Dell when a crumbling sea wall threatens the town. With the help of Carol Ferris and a surprising alliance with Green Arrow, Hal must confront a sinister new threat using his ring—now wielded by someone else—after being weakened by toxic plastic pins. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life with powerful art by Neal Adams, with inks by Bernie Wrightson and lettering by John Costanza, the cover by Neal Adams captures the intensity of a hero pushed to his limits.

While Carol Ferris is in Piper's Dell, the sea wall protecting the town begins to give way, so Hal responds as Green Lantern. After saving the town, GL is given a tour of the plastic factory. Weakened by gas emitted by the plastic pins produced there, he is unable to fight back, so he sends his ring to Green Arrow. When he revives, he finds that his old enemy Black Hand uses the pins to keep the community under his control. He sends GL and Carol out into the streets to face the wrath of the townspeople, but Green Arrow arrives in time with GL’s ring, and GL traps Black Hand in his own plastic.
