*DC: Before John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, and the multiplicity of later claimants to the GL mantle, the idea that anyone could challenge Hal Jordan’s supremacy as Green Lantern of Earth was a shocking concept. John Broome and Gil Kane explored that in 1968’s Green Lantern #59, showing what might have happened if an equally qualified candidate had taken the role instead of Hal Jordan. Originally a one-shot novelty akin to the Superman Family’s ‘Imaginary Tales’, GL #59 spiked in price after Steve Englehart brought back Guy as a recurring character almost two decades later. Eventually Guy joined both the Green Lantern Corps and the Justice League and became a fixture of the DC Universe. This copy of his debut issue presents very nicely, pence stamped, clean, flat and glossy. There is very minor handling wear at spine, and very faint soft crease at top left corner, not breaking colour; tiny colour-breaking mark at bottom edge near spine. Sharp edges and mostly sharp corners. Tight firm staples and near white pages.
