Owner's Description
In Issue #46, Green Lanterns from across the galaxy are called to Oa by the Guardians of the Universe, who reveal that Hal Jordan is dead. Wondering how one of the greatest Green Lanterns could have died, they probe his power ring to learn the truth.They learn that while out with Pieface, Hal explains that the last fraction of power from his ring is reserved to always act as protection to protect the Green Lantern from any mortal harm. What they were not aware of is that Dr. Polaris had returned with a new costume and a new plan, to capture Green Lantern's friend Pieface.
Hooking Pieface up to a magnetic device that will eventually kill him, Hal tracks down Pieface to Polaris' lab and battles Dr. Polaris. However during the fight, Hal realizes that his power ring is about to run out of energy and has now dropped to the final reserve that protects him. Wishing to save Pieface, Hal uses this last bit of power to preserve Pieface's life before he can die. Battling Polaris, Hal is unprotected from his weapons and takes a fatal blast from the Doctor's magnetic ray. With the story finished, the other Lanterns mourn the loss of their friend.
We acquired the Pacific Coast copy of this book from the November 2011 CL auction of what was at that time the #1 Green Lantern registry set. We later upgraded from 9.4 to 9.6 when we acquired this 9.6, which comes from the Rocky Mountain Collection and is one of three 9.6s with no 9.8s in the census as of May 2020.The Rocky Mountain Collection was assigned to a large Marvel and DC Silver Age collection originally auctioned by Comiclink in 2008. The Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-men runs were first auctioned without pedigree, but due to high collector interest the decision was made by CGC to classify the collection as a pedigree. Subsequently those three runs were retroactively given the Rocky Mountain notation. Hailing from Colorado, the collection numbered around 5,000 books, initially stored in a basement in similar conditions to the Mile High collection. None of the books exhibit identifying marks, but are easily traceable back to Comiclink.
