Why this issue matters

First appearance (promotional) of Green Lantern - the earliest appearance on record is a publisher promotion, not a story; a canonical story debut may come later.

Before you buy

  • Check spine ticks and cover gloss in the photos; silver-age Marvels chip at the edges easily.
  • Look for tanning at the page edges and transfer stains on the inside covers.
  • Confirm the cover price against the plate; higher prices can mean a later or foreign printing.
