The Green Lantern Corps #219

A Green Lantern in full uniform dominates this December 1987 cover, clutching a battered, orange-skinned adversary by the throat while delivering a menacing ultimatum — "Say yer prayers, poozer— it's dyin' time!" — against a deep purple starfield. The cover art by Bill Willingham and Bruce Patterson crackles with raw physical energy, perfectly capturing the Corps' willingness to go fist-to-fist when willpower constructs aren't enough. With Steve Englehart, Willingham, and Robert Campanella driving "Inside Somatic Psyches," this issue also teases DC's incoming Millennium crossover event for good measure.
