Owner's Description
In Issue #2, Hal Jordan is confronted by a man named Telle-Teg, who asks for the help of Green Lantern. Wanting to know what it's about, Hal has a telepathic story beamed into his head; Belle-Teg is from the Antimatter Universe on a planet call Qward, where being evil is lawful and being good is against the law. Telle-Teg and some other non-evil Qwardians have learned about a device that can transport them into the positive matter universe. The device however is being held by the Weaponers of Qward. Transporting himself across this device, Telle-Teg has since been followed by a Weaponer who has been trying to smite him with their golden thunderbolts. Hal agrees to find Green Lantern and leaves Telle-Teg alone while he changes.
When Green Lantern arrives, Telle-Teg is attacked by a Weaponer, during the fight Green Lantern is able to force the evil Qwardian to flee, but Telle-Teg is killed in the fight. Hal then travels through the doorway into Qward, and battles the Weaponers, free's Telle-Teg's friends and brings them into the positive matter universe. After sealing the doorway closed, one of Telle-Teg's friends warns that he too spied on the Weaponers, and learned that their ultimate goal is to collect all the Green Lanterns in the positive matter universe.
As of this writing, this is the single highest graded issue and the first 9.6 in the GL silver age run. I lost this book at auction about 7-8 years ago and then had to overpay to buy it back the second time in 2017. Hopefully, there will not be a second 9.6 to surface, or I will lose my shirt on this one.
8/2019: while there have been no more 9.6s of this book, the recent upgrade of the aforementioned GL #1 from 9.4 to 9.6 made the above statement about this being the earliest 9.6 no longer true.
