Review: Best Showcase so far - Here's where the "green" Green Lantern gets started. The character of Hal Jordan develops throughout this tome that brings back to life the most mature plotting and themes of any early Sixties DC comics. Because of the interesting writing, this stands out among the Showcase and Marvel Essentials, and so it survives the harshness of black and white. It is a shame that color is apparently prohibitively expensive. I'm sure, especially with a character whose NAME IS A COLOR, the publishers held their breath when they released it. Yes, I miss the color A LOT, but this and a few of the other Showcases have enough nostaliga and entertainment value to make for good bedtime reading. Plus some of the key background material for Infinite Crisis originates in early Green Lantern mags. Put it all together with the value, and this is a very satisfying purchase. (Great marketing too--buying a few of these Showcase volumes prompted me to buy a few of the more expensive premium products DC has put out.) Enjoy! Review: If you were a fan of the old Green Lantern comic book series you should check this out. - While growing up I had a passion for reading all kinds of comics in my youth. Whether it was Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman or the Green Lantern I enjoyed reading the adventures all these heroes (Today they are called “Superheroes”). Lately, I have purchased numerous giant volumes of these early comic book series and recently bought this book (Showcase Green Lantern, over 500 pages) on desertcart. The Green Lantern never became as popular as some of the other superheroes like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman; however, many people enjoyed reading his adventures in comic books. The Green Lantern is actually an ace test pilot named Hal Jordan, who came upon a crashed strange looking craft and inside was a badly injured alien from another world. This man from another planet wears a powerful ring which has super powers. Before the alien dies he gives this magical ring to Hal Jordan in order to help mankind fight all kinds of evil. This ring can do just about anything as long it is not the color yellow. This giant 526 page text is filled with numerous Green Lantern adventures involving a variety of villains and even some romantic interests with his boss’s daughter, Carol Ferris, who loves the Green Lantern but has not idea their top test pilot, Hal Jordan, is the Green Lantern. If you are a fan of this comic book hero you may want to check out this Showcase volume. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.

Truncale (Author: Martial Art and Warrior Haiku and Senryu). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great volume with one obvious flaw *by M***N on November 4, 2008* DC's Showcase Presents series is something which makes this old comic book fan very happy. Presenting 500-plus pages of silver age (or later) comics in chronological order makes for a terrific way to purchase a huge chunk of a character's history for cheap. The catch - they're in black and white. While this is a nice way to showcase the pen and ink artwork of the period (sorry, colorists!), it does diminish a very appealing aspect of comics - especially one like Green Lantern, whose powers and vulnerabilities involve different colors to a high degree. Nonetheless, Green Lantern Volume 1 is a great buy. It's cheap, it's huge, and it presents the character, to my mind, that best exemplifies the period of the early 1960s. Hal Jordan is a test pilot who inherits a powerful ring that allows him to travel in space and join an intergalactic police force. I can't imagine a more exemplary character for an age and a country just beginning its space flights, harnessing new and powerful energies in both war and peace, and attempting to police the world in the Cold War. John Broome's writing is good, if simplistic in spots (a requirement of the era's Comics Code authority, unfortunately, which restricted violence, moral ambuguity, and all other sorts of things which make "modern" comics so interesting). But the stories still almost universally contain kernels of good sci-fi ideas. Time travel, antimatter universes, shrinking to subatomic size, all sorts of sci fi ideas populate these pages. Younger readers ought to find the stories exciting and entertaining. Older readers might be a bit more bored, but there's plenty of period subtext for the avid student of sociology or 60's futurism to enjoy. The art is the main draw, here. Gil Kane is unquestionably one of the greats of the silver age. His style here is fluid, uncluttered, and not quite as dynamic as his later stuff, but the elements are there. His layouts and anatomy are still creative and interesting. Watching his style evolve over 20 issues is a treat. Later volumes show his style progressing even further. In summary, this volume should appeal to any fan of the character, any student of the 1960s, and any appreciator of Gil Kane's art. Since I am all three, this was a certain buy for me. Other than this group though, I would say that this book is appropriate for Silver Age aficionados and bright, inquisitive kids. At this price, it can't be beat. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/32116428-showcase-presents-green-lantern-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/32116428-showcase-presents-green-lantern-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
