Item Description

"SILVER AGE" was a 12-part storyline that ran through a series of one-shot DC comics in 2000. Each of the 12 issues featured "Issue #1" on the cover and formed a larger story arc in which the Justice League of America fights the Injustice League formed by villain AGAMEMNO.

The art, dialogue, narrative style and even the format of the comics (larger page-counts, half-page advertisements, etc.) were deliberately anachronistic for the year 2000, thus, the issues served as a tribute, and in some cases a gentle satire, to the books and creators of DC Comics during the Silver Age of Comic Books.

Here in SILVER AGE: GREEN LANTERN, (which is Part 8 of the 12-part overall tale) you get the 3-part story called "Alone . . Against Injustice!" which finds the 'big bad' of the SILVER AGE series, AGAMEMNO and the Injustice League (still in the bodies of the JLA), traveling to Thanagar where they use the League's reputation to get the Thanagarians to hand over the Absorbascon. However 'SINESTRO' (actually GREEN LANTERN) attacks the League and does an excellent job of defeating them and AGAMEMNO.

HAL JORDAN begins to go insane from using SINESTRO's ring and enters the Central Power Battery, using his ring and the battery's power to restore the villains' (and thus the heroes') true forms. The villains escape and are confronted by the Green Lantern Corps in orbit but are able to shut down the minds of the Corps!

The cover is by '60s GL maestro Gil Kane, with inking by Kevin Nowlan. And the inside story is by Kurt Busiek, with illustrations by Brent Anderson and Joe Rubinstein!

This copy is in near-pristine condition = an easy 9.0 VF/NM. = and a great issue for bringing back fond memories of the GREEN LANTERN stories of the 1960s! We're selling it at nearly its cover price in 2000 of just $3.00, and with our incredibly L•O•W shipping, it's the most affordable copy here on HipComic!
