The Green Lantern Corps #222

The cover of this March 1988 issue says it all: a red-skinned, menacing figure in a black-and-blue costume strides forward through a gauntlet of reaching hands — Green Lantern power rings visible on several of them — as a bold "GUILTY" stamp dominates the foreground. The title "The Last Testament of Sinestro!" promises high-stakes drama centered on the Corps' most notorious enemy, rendered here with palpable tension by penciler Joe Staton and inker Bruce Patterson. Steve Englehart, Staton, and Mark Farmer bring their collaborative energy to what looks like a decisive reckoning for one of DC's most enduring villains.
