It's full of the old Silver Age stories. It's not colored It's completely black and white in brightest day. All right Green Lantern volume one in brightest day in blackest night No evil shall escape my sight let those who worship evils might be where my power Green Lantern's lights a Dying a dying alien summon test pilot how Jordan and gave him the most powerful weapon in the universe a power ring Jordan was inducted into the universe spanning Green Lantern Corps and assigned to protect a sector of space including earth his sheer willpower Directs the ring to create fantastic energy constructs and with it Protect the good from evil this collection includes the earliest Green Lantern stories from showcase number 22 through 24 and Green Lantern 1 through number 17 in these action-packed tales. You will meet his mysterious alien masters the Guardians of the Universe Many of his intergalactic comrades and some of his deadliest opponents such as Hector Hammond Sonar and Sinestro Written by Silver Age master John Broom The stories were penciled by Gil Kane with inks from Joe Gaila and Murphy Anderson And then here's other showcases I did not get this from Borders. We have a store here in town called the old book barn Basically they sell used books they have a lot of comics in there nothing great condition and They don't really know how to price comics they price them for way more than they're actually worth But I was lucky this was in a really good condition. I I paid I Paid about 20 bucks for it so Here we have the first issue Avancer's death and how Jordan Being given the Green Lantern ring for the first time it actually looks like the ring didn't actually create Green Lantern's costume first it actually looks like how Jordan Stripped Avancer of his uniform and put it on himself See he's kind of pulling his clothes tight That would be retconned and later more modern comics As you can see it's pretty nice. I would have liked it to be colored But I can understand why they didn't Menace of the giant puppets the secret of the golden thunderbolts Which would later be retconned into the thunderers of Chord for those of you who don't know Chord is a planet that it's been retconned a few times Sometimes it's in the anti-matter universe of Chord other times. It's a planet of Chord But the thunders are erased from Chord part of I think two races One is the weaponers which create weapons like the Sinestro ring, which is a yellow power ring They even I believe At one time created the anti Green Lantern rings Which are kind of a black and purple type power ring Used by Mindless drones and because it required willpower the rings eventually destroyed the drones that were and then there's the thunderers of Chord which are warrior Race and they kind of enslaved the weaponers and so As you can see the artwork back in the time it wasn't great But it wasn't bad either very Very cheap, I guess artwork Nowhere near the quality of detail as today's Artists put into them But still it's not bad at all and I have not read this whole thing I Do plan on it at some point and I may even Do some videos on the old Green Lantern stories from this book But I'm not sure but still it's very nice to have in the in the collection Especially if you're a huge Green Lantern fan like John and I are I actually got into Green Lantern back in 2006 Maybe 2005 Just because I liked I know this is gonna sound kind of Cheap or whatever But I actually got into them Because I liked his newer designs the I Didn't like the way he was colored in the older comics, you know, he had that almost forest green Suit he had the trunk scenario thing. I didn't really care for that. But when they started updating him That's when I really kind of Drifted towards him and started Reading comics. I think the first few comics of Green Lantern I got were Emerald Twilight so But anyway, there you have it guys DC showcase presents Green Lantern When did this come out? This is number one, by the way, let's see if I can find when this came out 2010 it looks like is the copyright So it's eight years old But not bad, I definitely recommend picking it up, especially if you're a Green Lantern fan it's better to have this to read and collect the old stories never open them then to Collect the old stories open them to read them and risk damaging them So anyway, I'm Shannon for come again TV Don't forget to hit that subscribe button in the little bell to receive notifications on all our uploads We do all kinds of stuff on this channel.
