The recent movie may not have lived up to expectations but DC's GREEN LANTERN was another of my earliest favorite comic books. It was also the first one I ever wrote a fan letter to (although it went unpublished). Gil Kane was the artist on these and became an immediate favorite.
The two issues above and below were favorites, a two-parter with a wonderful and genuinely emotional space opera setting. Some great writing from John Broome! I got the issue below in July of '66 at a Greyhound station, probably in Virginia, while my parents and I traveled to North Carolina to visit my mother's relatives.
Loved the 1960's Green Lantern & LOVED DC's "go-go checks" on the covers, too. Seeing them takes me right back.
ReplyDeleteThat was the year they had the go-go checks and Marvel had the Pop-Art Productions.
