Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual #1

DC's 1985 annual devoted to the Green Lantern Corps arrives with a cover by Gil Kane that practically radiates chaos — a blazing explosion of yellow and orange sends multiple Corps members tumbling in every direction, their black-and-green uniforms catching the light as they're hurled outward from a massive burst of white energy. The sheer variety of alien Lanterns scattered across the image — including a red-bearded human-like figure, a female Lantern, and several distinctly non-human ring-wielders — makes a strong visual case for just how vast and diverse the Corps really is. With Len Wein and Paul Kupperberg on writing duties and Gil Kane's confident linework throughout, this oversized annual feels like a genuine celebration of the Corps' cosmic scope.
