Some say that this book collecting the O'Neil/Adams GA/GL run was outdated and lame, well they are wrong. racism and drug abuse is not something that is just forgottan about. purchase if you are a fan of either charecter.

I bought this because I liked Green Lantern and I heard the stories in this book were good. What I got was one awesome adventure after another with Green Lantern (who is still cool) and Green Arrow (my new favorite superhero). It is clear that the themes of the stories work way better at the time they were written than they do now, but they are excellent themes nonetheless. Some of the dialogue is cheesy, but that's to be expected considering when it was written. None of the dialogue is "bad cheesy," though. Just a bit dated. The best part of the stories is definately Green Arrow. He always acts for good and isn't fooled by "The Man." It's cool to see Green Lantern change throughout the stories from super cop to a more open-minded hero. If you like this one, you'll definately like the second one as well.

On the road, questioning their motivations, a junkie ward, unhappy overlords, and more. Two friends go travelling, mostly sans costume. They end up doing some soul searching, not to mention fighting, along the road.
There is also a pretty bird on a motorcycle in the future, as well as some other characters.
Cults, unions, and other such things appear. No supervillains.

I was amazed to see the intensely negative reviews printed here about this remarkable series. Neal Adams is probably the greatest comic book artist ever and his work here is his best.
The times we live in are incredibly sad. I despair when I read comments like these. The so-called "Reagan Revolution" must be here to stay, unfortunately.
People, even comic book people, obviously don't care about important issues like racism, poverty, the enviroment, American imperialism and the like. Reviewers who consider the GL/GA series "quaint" or, even worse "naive and misguided" are not part of the problem. They ARE the problem.
