Green Lantern / Green Arrow #5
In "Peril in Plastic," Hal Jordan faces a strange threat in Piper's Dell when a failing sea wall puts the town at risk—only to be followed by a sinister danger lurking in the local plastic factory. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life with powerful art by Neal Adams and Berni Wrightson, this 1984 issue sees Green Lantern overwhelmed by toxic fumes from plastic pins, forcing him to rely on Green Arrow and his ring to turn the tide. The cover, also by Neal Adams, captures the tension of a town on the edge.

While Carol Ferris is in Piper's Dell, the sea wall protecting the town begins to give way, so Hal responds as Green Lantern. After saving the town, GL is given a tour of the plastic factory. Weakened by gas emitted by the plastic pins produced there, he is unable to fight back, so he sends his ring to Green Arrow. When he revives, he finds that his old enemy Black Hand uses the pins to keep the community under his control. He sends GL and Carol out into the streets to face the wrath of the townspeople, but Green Arrow arrives in time with GL’s ring, and GL traps Black Hand in his own plastic.
