DC Premiere Collection.After the runaway success of the revamped Flash in Showcase #4, DC editors scrambled through the archives looking for Golden Age heroes to rework and repackage for the Atomic Era. Unsurprisingly, the next big hit of the DC Silver Age was a refurbished Green Lantern, who was upgraded to a devil-may-care hero with a science-fiction themed secret identity and origin tale perfectly suited to the Sputnik-era.
Crack DC draftsman Gil Kane turned in an extraordinary and timeless costume, and indefatigable scribe John Broome worked with DC editor Julius Schwartz to concoct a mystical, yet futuristic, and surprisingly moving debut. If the Flash was the hint of a Silver Age of heroes, this book affirmed its existence and assured everything that followed. Its importance to comic history cannot be understated.
Spiffy, bright, and clean, this 6.0 copy of the first appearance of the Silver Age Lantern is in admirable condition. The cool green of GL’s uniform and the bright yellow of the missile burst forth from the soothing blues of the muted background on this classic SA key. Bearing the respected provenance of the Jon Berk Collection, one of the greatest and most valuable collections ever sold at auction, collectors will be vying for the honor of owning this popular DC issue. Remember, there’s bound to be a cinematic reboot of Hal Jordan’s exploits, so get your copy now, you’ll be glad you did once the price shoots up.
Overstreet Guide 2019 FN (6.0) value = $5,100.
