The collection showcases the cosmic and Earth-bound heroics that defined the era's Green Lantern mythos.
In "Secret of the Power-Ringed Robot!", Hal Jordan faces a mystery that ties his willpower to an unexpected mechanical enigma, testing the limits of his ring and his resolve. This 2019 issue, featuring classic art by Gil Kane and Sid Greene, brings together iconic figures from Green Lantern's past—including Alan Scott, Tomar-Re, and Black Hand—through a series of striking back cover illustrations that spotlight their legendary stories. The cover by Nick Derington captures the intrigue with a sleek, retro-inspired design.
In "The Plot to Conquer the Universe!", Hal Jordan races to Oa to have the Guardians remove the lingering hypnotic implants left by Betty Sloane—only to be ambushed mid-flight by the menacing new threat, Evil Star. The stakes rise as Hal’s resolve is tested not just by a powerful foe, but by the unseen strings still pulling at his mind.
In "Menace of the Atomic Changeling!" from Green Lantern: The Silver Age #4, Hal Jordan teams up with Green Lantern Tomar-Re to stop an elusive atomic energy entity that hijacks bodies and turns inanimate objects into living weapons. With clever use of his ring and quick thinking, Hal devises a plan to trap the creature in the very moment it shifts between forms.
In "The Jailing of Hal Jordan!", Hal Jordan stops a bank heist by the Triple Plays—only for the fourth man, Pete Claypool, to finish the job. When Pete inherits a fortune and moves next door to Carol Ferris, he grows obsessed with her and sets out to eliminate Hal as a rival, orchestrating a frame-up that lands the Green Lantern in jail.
In "The End of a Gladiator!", Hal Jordan's sacrifice during a brutal clash with Dr. Polaris leaves his body recovered by the Guardians and brought to Oa, where his final act of using his ring's power to save Tom Kalmaku echoes across the Corps. The weight of his loss settles over the Green Lanterns as they confront the cost of heroism in the aftermath.
When Hal Jordan’s body vanishes from Oa and washes up in the distant future, he awakens to a world ravaged by a spreading red virus—his only hope is to fight back before it consumes everything. Back in his own time, he faces off against Dr. Polaris and must protect a friend in peril, all while unraveling the mystery of his own disappearance.
When former inmate Keith Kenyon breaks free and dons the mantle of Goldface, his newfound power to turn anything to gold becomes a dangerous weapon—especially when it targets Green Lantern. The two face off in a high-stakes clash where every move could mean transformation, and the line between hero and villain blurs.
