Owner's Description
Issue #74 continues the starry between GL and Star Sapphire in Issue #73. Hal Jordan has been transported into space and stripped of all his memories of being Green Lantern by Star Sapphire. With no memory of how he got there, Hal begins to go mad, and when he wishes he could make a toy rocket that he has in his pocket take him home, he unconsciously activates his power ring which turns the toy into the real thing, causing the Green Lantern to remember who he is and return to Earth.
There, Green Lantern learns that Sinestro is behind the resurrection of Star Sapphire and hopes to use her to destroy his most hated foe, even going so far as suggest that the two begin a relationship. As the battle rages on, Star Sapphire is torn between her loyalty to Sinestro and her desire to force Green Lantern to be her husband. Learning of the battle from the radio, Thomas Kalmaku rushes off to help Hal the best he can.
With his power ring drained of energy, Hal is easily defeated; however, before Sinestro can defeat Green Lantern, Star Sapphire decides that she wants Green Lantern alive and battles Sinestro. As Green Lantern struggles to get away, he is met by Thomas who has brought his power battery to him, allowing the Green Lantern to recharge his ring and rejoin the battle.
First Green Lantern uses his power to change Star Sapphire back into Carol Ferris and then begins to fight Sinestro once more. Sinestro suddenly gives up and turns over his yellow power ring to the Green Lantern. When Green Lantern is puzzled, Sinestro explains that there are more than one way to win a battle before teleporting away.
Green Lantern then checks to see how Carol is doing and decides to tell her once and for all that she is really Star Sapphire. The news horrifies Carol who ends up fleeing from the Green Lantern in tears. Later changing back to his civilian identity of Hal Jordan, he pays one last visit to his friend Thomas and tries to deal with losing Carol.
OK, it’s kinda soap operaish, but it would probably make a hell of a movie LOL
9.8s of this issue are not overly rare, there are three, but I did not have one until I picked up this one in 2019 from the same friend who sold me the 9.8 Rocky Mountain copy of Issue #70.
