First appearance of Guy Gardner as Green Lantern.
John Broome's script and Gil Kane's renderings debuted Guy Gardner as a GL. According to a device that recorded the dying Abin Sur's final thoughts, the power ring had located two men worthy of succeeding him as the Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814, but it selected Hal Jordan because he was closer to the crash that killed Sur. Viewing an alternate timeline, Jordan witnessed Gardner prove himself a worthy emerald clad champion and struck up a friendship with him.
