*DC: This initial release from the Arch Collection comprises three very significant issues from the Silver Age, Showcase #22-24, the first appearances of Hal Jordan as he adopts the role of Green Lantern. In 1959, editor Julius Schwartz followed up on the introduction of Barry Allen as the Silver Age Flash, with the revival of another classic Golden Age super-hero, Green Lantern. John Broome writer and Gil Kane artist were tasked with bringing the character to life. As with the Flash, the Silver Age version was invented with a change of origin and secret identity to his Golden Age predecessor.
PICTURED: SHOWCASE
#22 GD- £1,300 1st Hal Jordan Green Lantern, 1st Abin Sur (alien Green Lantern), 1st Carol Ferris, debut of power ring and power battery. A lower grade copy, with two chips of 4 cm each out of top cover/right corner, and a further chip of 2 cm out bottom cover. There is a small, faint watermark to the right of the logo. The spine is more or less solid, with wear and small gaps around the staples. Colour-breaking creases are restricted to edges and corners and are mostly quite small and do not detract from the cover scene. Small amount of chipping to right edge. Staples are reasonably tight at spine and centrefold. Page quality is a very nice off-white. A relatively affordable example of a major Silver Age key issue. Front and back covers and splash pictured  below. High resolution images are available on request. SOLD
#23 GD £125 Atomic explosion cover. GL against the Invisible Destroyer. Bright colour cover, but lots of spidery colour-breaking creases all along the spine. Small tear without loss at bottom edge. Other creases faintly breaking colour across logo and central lower vertical. Short back cover tear with minor staining. Staples are firm at spine and centrefold; some corner blunting. Good off-white pages. 
#24 VG- p £180 Great BEM cover. Nice solid copy, pence stamped. Only the tiniest creases in very few places at edges. Solid spine and tight, firm staples. Supple off-white pages. Cover colours (particularly green) are a little muted on this copy, but look okay.
