*DC: Although DC missed a trick by not including him on the cover, let me assure you that Green Lantern’s arch nemesis, Sinestro, does indeed make his first appearance within Green Lantern #7 (1961). Steeped in Green Lantern lore, the lead story introduced the renegade Green Lantern who would go on the plague the Emerald Gladiator throughout his career. This is a nice flat pence printed copy with strong colour and supple off-white to cream pages. The cover is off at bottom staple, but firmly attached at top, with both staples tight at centrefold. There is some edge wear, but nothing bad, with some thin colour-breaking creasing just in the very bottom right corner. There’s a tiny tear at the top of the spine, and a 1.5 cm one at the bottom. Tiny red ink mark centre right cover. A clean copy that presents well from an original owner collection new to the market.
