i really only have one thing to say. i was a little disappointed that such a great comic was reproduced in such a weak format. the book is set up more like a novel than a comic collection with the paper being of a very low quality. its not bad for the price really but not so great considering that the comics industry has made such an effort to improve the quality of the books they produce. this paper is not even as good as the prestige format paper of the late 80's comics. i just expected more for ...

The first comic I can remember regularly anticipating was the Green Lantern/Green Arrow comic. Unlike other comics, the stories were interesting and invovling. Issues like drugs, racism, hypocricy, and religion. Stuff that even as a kid gave ... Read More

I do not intend to try to sell this book to any potential buyers. I like to think that those seeking this book out recognize what it is, and the effects that the orginal series had on comic books in the 1960's and 1970's.
In the post 1960's era, where shows like Batman had made comic books look foolish, and childlike, true fans had nowhere to turn. Consider the effects this had on comic book readers in general and those characters themselves. Several books were almost cancelled! The cartoony pop ... Read More
