Product Description:
Over 500 pages of classic comics are included in this value-priced volume!
Green Lantern -- a.k.a. test pilot Hal Jordan -- battles evil as a member of the star-spanning Green Lantern Corps. In this fast-paced new volume, Jordan faces villains including Sinestro (the force behind today's hit storyline "The Sinestro Corps War"), Major Disaster, Dr. Polaris, Evil Star and Star Sapphire, the transformed version of Jordan's girlfriend, Carol Ferris. This volume also includes guest-appearances by Zatanna (a key figure in INFINITE CRISIS) and the original 1940s Green Lantern, in a tale that sowed the seeds of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS.

Several team-ups with the Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott are featured (one per year of the original run).
Villains like Sinestro keep coming back, and the Flash makes an occasional guest appearance too.

These stories alone are worth the price of the entire collection, and occurred when Kane was in his best years.
The stories are forgettable DC fare (OK, I'm a Marvel ... Read More

Why should anyone purchase the deluge of Showcase Present . . .? The simplest reason is economics. For less than twenty dollars you can get a collection of eighteen to twenty-two issues of a Silver Age DC hero of your choice as opposed to fifty dollars for an Archives Collection of eight to ten of the same hero. The trade-off, however, is the Showcase Presents series does not include color and uses a lower quality paper than the Achives Collections. And the Archives Collections are hard-covered, too. ...
