Green Lantern #5
In "Back Again," Hal Jordan returns to Oa to find it transformed into a surreal collage of stolen cities from across the cosmos—Earth among them—orchestrated by the deranged Guardian known only as the Old Timer. With John Stewart unwittingly serving as the focal point of the Old Timer’s escalating power, Hal must confront a Corps in chaos and a planet turned inside out. Written by Gerard Jones and illustrated by Pat Broderick, with cover art by Broderick and Mark A. Nelson, this 1990 issue redefines the Green Lantern mythos in a bold, unsettling way.
