American Update: Green Lantern #76 FN+
*DC: Stop! This is the new Green Lantern co-starring Green Arrow! So proclaimed the 76th issue of the Emerald Galdiator’s Silver Age series. With sales falling, editor Julius Schwartz turned in 1970 to the creative team of Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams to add Green Arrow to the title and re-invigorate the series. And that’s just what they did, bringing in contemporary ‘relevant’ storylines dealing in issues such as drugs, racism, modern life in the USA of the day etc. The fame of their run extends to this day and it is avidly collected. It all started here in #76. We have a nice FN+ cents copy (£325) new in, with minor spine & edge wear. Some colour bleed through back cover. Unnecessary extra staple added to centre spine. Tight and flat with excellent page quality. Arguably, the comic that started the Bronze Age, and the Holy Grail for many collectors.
