Origin of the Green Lantern retold. 1st Appearance of the Guardians of the Universe. A Dave and Adams website find in Off-white pages, I escaped and did not have to settle for anything in "cream pages" lol believe it or not a WIN! Crazy Clown Cover lol and a Green Lantern ongoing series. Despite presenting well for the grade and being before my time, Hal Jordan is the Lantern I remember. I was a fan of later iterations as well, but this was the classic. Always Green Lantern had a weakness, and although it was similar in effect to kryptonite, they overcame differently. Every Lantern had the make of an underdog, in my opinion. Green Lantern an oldie but goodie, and yet it comes off the page as new and fresh in the modern age, with many a completist that takes the good name and puts it to good use! That is worth the price of admission.
Complete with back cover pic of issue #47, that has a date stamp on it, for those inclined, and it can be fun to find those in the wild! About to get a solar plex punch to the gut and picked up from the dollar bin at Keith's Comics, a local comic shop, on a random day!
Grader Notes:
crease right bottom of front cover breaks color;
small split left top of spine;
very small, multiple chip out cover.

1st appearance of Guy Gardner. Origin of Green Lantern retold. Nice green cover featuring a character that rocked the 90's but 1st appeared in the 60's. A wise cracking, sure of himself goof, that now has the power of the Green Lantern. This White Page copy I believe is presentable and perfect for my collection! This iteration of the Green Lantern splattered the 80's to 90's by keeping attitude. The cover of this issue can somewhat show the eventual character flaws. That go to spirit sometimes proved overconfident, Guy Gardner called it his charm. Still, unwilling as he was to ask for "help" in situations, he got as good as he gave. What a scrapper! An underdog in this world is more than meets the eye but is still usually rooted for whether as a companion or a teammate. Those stripes get earned one way or another in the end with good writing!
Complete with a back cover picture of some DC cards, that show a bit of the goofy side to the Gardner, who keeps the repertoire unstifled and measured with a sense of level headedness. Many will come after, but the "guy" seeks his own leading role!
Grader Notes:
light cover tanning;
light staining to cover;
moderate creasing to cover;
moderate spine stress lines to cover;
wrap 8 detached bottom staple.

Bronze the start of something Great! Classic story and cover by the legendary Neal Adams! The boardies Kav and Oakman29 talked about this book a lot when I first joined the boards! I decided to see what it was all about and was not disappointed. A story very relevant today, with race culture and the budding deliverance, but by whom? It is the individuality crises of a super-hero that needs to see the big picture and his place in it. Others could tell him, yet we all have different things that cause us to wise up. The defects on this are many, but they are small aesthetically. Still, when first in hand I thought it might have been over graded. Those moveable stories that take the immoveable and shake it to the core. Asking questions should not hurt but be prepared for answers coming that may not be in your original frame of thought. Got to remember to keep an open mind!
Complete with a back cover picture of issue #83, where the problem is psychological in nature, seemingly. The child wouldn't be fun to have to defeat in fisticuffs or usual manner, creating a quandary of sorts. Seems that they were trying to be thought provoking back-to-back! Could it be a Neal Adams think tank?
Grader Notes:
Bottom Front Cover Bend Breaks Color;
Front Cover Wear All Corners;
Full Left Front Cover Multiple Crease Breaks Color;
Left Top Back Cover Crease;
Spine Multiple Bend Breaks Color;
Spine Wear;
Top Back Cover Bend.
