*DC: Although DC missed a trick by not including him on the cover, let me assure you that Green Lantern’s arch nemesis, Sinestro, does indeed make his first appearance within Green Lantern #7 (1961). Steeped in Green Lantern lore, the lead story introduced the renegade Green Lantern who would go on the plague the Emerald Gladiator throughout his career. Make no mistake if you’re considering adding this pence-stamped copy to your collection – it’s a bit of a wreck. The covers are detached and separated. The front cover has multiple small tears along the spine, a dog-eared bottom right corner, colour-breaking creases at the top right corner and much wear; the central image isn’t too bad. The back cover is worse, with heavy creasing, torn edges and a piece out top left. Pages have tanned edges and are a bit dingy, but they’re all there; centrefold is loose. Don’t say we didn’t warn you, but at least it’s an opportunity to acquire a key issue at a relatively affordable price.
