Green Lantern (Book 1): No Fear

Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Green Lantern Hal Jordan has returned from the dead -- but not everyone is happy to see him back on the job as Earth's protector.

As he re-establishes his life as a test pilot for the Air Force and reconnects with his super-hero comrades-in-arms, Green Lantern faces renewed threats from his rogues gallery of foes, including Hector Hammond, the Shark, Black Hand and the Manhunters.

This volume also includes a beautifully illustrated tale with art by Eisner Award winner Darwyn Cooke (DC: THE NEW FRONTIER), revealing the first time Hal's father took him flying as a child.
