American Update: Beware My Power…. Green Lantern # 1 (1960)
*DC: Following the Flash’s ‘reboot’ (hah! And you thought ‘Poo 52’ did it first…) in Showcase #4, other Golden Age heroes were revamped for the Space Age, and one of the earliest was fearless test pilot Hal Jordan, who became the second Green Lantern in Showcase #22, and was such a success he was rewarded with his own ongoing series, of which this is the first issue. Retelling his origin, this also features the first appearance of Hal’s mentors, the Guardians of the Universe. A lovely bright copy, flat and tight with beautiful unmarred cover image. Faint scuff markings to right of logo; minor spine wear and 1/2″ spine split at top. Cents copy, no UK price overstamp; offered at VG+, £675.
