American Update: ‘Beware His Power!’ – First John Stewart Green Lantern in GL #87
*DC: From Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams’ acclaimed run on Green Lantern/Green Arrow in which DC’s two Emerald Justice Leaguers teamed-up in a series of ‘relevant’ storylines such as racism, pollution, overpopulation, etc., the first appearance of the other Green Lantern of Earth – no, not Guy Gardner, this is the other other one. John Stewart, architect and social crusader, gained the GL uniform when Hal Jordan was incapacitated, and although the well-meaning creators endowed him with a lot of ‘angry black man’ clichés in his first appearance, he became an integral part of the DCU, being the only GL of Earth for prolonged stretches, and, thanks to his appearances in the Justice League cartoon series, becoming for a generation the first Green Lantern they encountered. This copy of John’s first appearance is a clean and attractive VG+, faint pence stamp on cover, light wear at cover edges, but no significant defects, on sale at £50. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
