Item Description

By the time issue #68 of the Silver Age GREEN LANTERN rolled around, Hal Jordan had left Coast City and his job as a test pilot and was roaming the West Coast as an Insurance Investigator!!!  A rather unique secret identity for a space-faring superhero!  

Here, in just his third gig as a GREEN LANTERN scripter, Denny O'Neil shows he can meld both outer space adventure and earthbound crime stopping in "I Wonder Where The Yellow Went?" - which may sound like a strange title today, but in 1969 was a very popular advertising slogan for Pepsodent toothpaste! O'Neill's story is propelled by the beautifully dynamic illustrations of the incredible Gil Kane.

After escaping capture by GL when a yellow cloud renders his ring useless, an alien invader disguises himself as a scientist who claims to have discovered the way to eliminate GREEN LANTERN's power ring's yellow weakness. GL shows the newly-improved ring to The Guardians, who are impressed and ask him to test it further. But in reality the process renders the ring powerless after just a few days.  But Hal understands he's been duped, and shows that having the ring's power is not the only thing that makes him a superhero!!

You also get a one-page 'DC Fact File' on Sargon the Sorcerer, with an early illustration by the great Joe Kubert!

This is a terrific-looking 54-year old Silver Age GREEN LANTERN #68 -- no creases, tears, pieces missing, or abnormal toning. The binding is strong, and the colors are bright!  We confidently grade this copy a 9.0 VF/NM . . which Overstreet values at $76 . . . but we're pricing it at just $55 . . with our always-L•O•W shipping!

In Brightest Day . . get the best of O'Neil and Kane in one terrific bargain . . . or you'll find yourself  . In Blackest Night!
