The Green Lantern Corps #221

Part of DC's 1988 Millennium crossover event (Week 7), this issue drops readers right into the chaos with a cover by Joe Staton and Bruce Patterson that says it all: multiple Green Lanterns — including a female Lantern and a dark-suited male Corpsman — caught up in a swirling, luminous yellow whirlwind alongside a civilian figure struggling at its base, while an inverted Lantern with long dark hair dominates the foreground. That single word blazing across the cover — "Whirlwind!" — perfectly sets the tone for Steve Englehart's story "Diversions!", with art by Joe Staton and inks by Mark Farmer promising a Corps stretched in every direction at once.
