Secret Origins #36
In *Secret Origins* #36, a pivotal moment from Green Lantern’s past resurfaces when Hal Jordan, seeking a new ally, encounters Chip—once a quiet observer of a defining event in the hero’s life. Written by James Owsley, M. D. Bright, Robert Greenberger, and Denny O'Neil, and illustrated by M. D. Bright and Neal Adams with inks by Adams and José Marzán Jr., this story unfolds as Hal shares his origin on a journey through space, revealing the ring’s legacy with quiet gravity. The cover by Mike Carlin and Eduardo Barreto captures the weight of that moment, a 1.50 USD comic from 1989 that deepens the mythos with a personal, human touch.
