American Comics Update: Green Lantern #40 – Crisis On Infinite Earths ‘Prequel’
*DC: We know, it sounds a bit weird, but two decades after the publication of this 1965 issue, DC linked it retroactively to their blockbuster crossover ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’, by declaring the major events therein (no, we’re not going to tell you what they were – spoilers!) as the retconned kick-off to Crisis. This nifty team-up between the Green Lanterns of Earths One and Two has therefore acquired an historic value beyond that seemingly justified by its (admittedly considerable) merits. And it’s a great read too! This is a reasonable pence-stamped copy with good cover colour and gloss, marred by some spine creasing and a faint-ish bookshop stamp over Alan Scott’s legs. If you can live with that, this is a copy which would otherwise grade higher.
