Owner's Description
In Issue #37, “The Plot to Conquer the Universe” Green Lantern is suddenly pulled to a planet ruled by Evil Star and his minions, the diminutive Starlings. Evil Star imprisons Hal, taking away his power ring, hoping to destroy all the Green Lanterns and the Guardians of the Universe in a bid to take over the universe, Evil Star then leaves his minions to guard the seemingly defenseless Green Lantern while he goes off to deal with the Guardians.
Using Betty's hypnotic charm, Hal manages to hypnotize the Starlings to take him to Oa, where he arrives to foil Evil Star's attempt at posing as Green Lantern, but not before Evil Star is able to immobilize the Guardians. Attempting to take back his power ring meets with failure when Evil Star uses his Star-Band to make Hal's ring explode. Undaunted, Hal fights Evil Star in hand to hand combat, besting the villain and taking his Star Band and using it to defeat Evil Star.
This is the single highest graded example purchased in August 2019 in a private transaction.
Edited to add, there is good news and bad news since I wrote the sentence above: the bad news is this one lost its status as single highest graded, but once again I do own both copies. That strategy of averaging down my cost of the first book only works if a third highest graded copy does not emerge. But it is so hard to pay a lot for a book that is single highest graded and then see a second book emerge that is going for a fraction of what I just paid for the first.
