About the series
A single-issue DC special from 1980, The Secret Origin of Green Lantern is a concise, self-contained retelling of the character's classic beginnings, presented as part of the short-lived "Leaf Comic Book Candy" promotional line. Illustrated throughout by the reliably clean and expressive Joe Staton, this issue distills the core mythos of Hal Jordan's journey from test pilot to cosmic lawman. It stands as a neat, accessible snapshot of the Silver Age origin for a new audience, preserved as a compact piece of DC's 1980s marketing history.
