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.

The stories are forgettable DC fare (OK, I'm a Marvel ... Read More

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. ...
