The Green Lantern Omnibus #1
"SOS Green Lantern" marks a pivotal moment in the Green Lantern mythos, spotlighting a classic tale written by John Broome and brought to life by Gil Kane’s dynamic art, with inks by Joe Giella and letters by Gaspar Saladino. When a long-lost gold mine map resurfaces, it sets off a dangerous chase between Tom Kalmakus and the ruthless Duke Danfield, leading Green Lantern to intervene and ultimately reveal his secret identity to Tom—though not without a fight. The cover, penciled by Gil Kane and inked by Kevin Nowlan, captures the tension of the moment with striking precision.
