Green Lantern : 2006 DC Comics

2006-Jul-20 San Diego CA

Green Lantern art by Neal Adams – In 1970, writer Dennis O'Neil and artist Neal Adams launched a new era of relevance in comics, crafting stories in which the Green Lantern – accompanied by his friend, Green Arrow – addressed important issues than considered taboo for the typical comic book.

Green Lantern #4 Jan/Feb 1961 – Art by Gil Kane & Joe Giella. As readers entered the Space Age, so did comics. Ace test pilot Hal Jordan took flight as Green Lantern, a galactic peace officer with an emerald power ring that could create virtually anything. Willpower and fearlessness marked Jordan as a hero for the times.
