About the series
In 1997, DC Comics launched the Tangent line as a bold experiment, reimagining its classic heroes from scratch in a new, self-contained universe. This one-shot redefines Green Lantern, with writer James Robinson and artist J. H. Williams III crafting a wholly original take—a young woman named Li Hsien Chen who wields a lantern’s power not through a ring, but through ancient Chinese magic. A fascinating artifact of DC’s creative risk-taking, it stands as a singular, self-contained story that showcases the duo’s inventive storytelling and Williams’s lush, intricate art.
