origin of Green Lantern retold; classic coverFirst appearing in All American #16, the Green Lantern was so popular he earned his own title. Artist Howard Purcell's iconic cover is known throughout the comic world because of the black background and dynamic rendering of our hero fighting an evildoer. The premiere issue showcases a retelling of the origin of the Golden Age Green Lantern and Includes bios and photos of Bill Finger and Martin Nodell as well as a William Moulton Marston photo.The foreboding black background on this cover is relatively clean and displays very little of the 80 year vintage of this comic. The shades of green employed in this design all read clearly and contrast well with one another, a fairly remarkable achievement considering the limited options afforded by the four-color printing process. The book also boasts some very clean edges and a sturdy perimeter, with nice corners and a stable spine. Rumors abound regarding the reintroduction of the Green Lantern into the DCEU, so snapping up a copy of this relatively rare book is a recommended move. This is an important piece of DC’s history and a well-respected Golden Age key that commands impressive prices at auction.
Overstreet Guide 2020 F/VF (7.0) value = $15,675
