About this copy

Green Lantern #1 (Fall 1941) marks the beginning of Alan Scott's solo run following his debut in All-American Comics #16. Martin Nodell's mystical railway lantern-wielding hero predates the Silver Age space-cop reimagining by 18 years.

This CGC 4.5 VG+ copy shows light, even wear with strong cover colours — the dramatic green and purple palette is bright and striking. Interior pages are clean with supple paper.

A highly desirable standalone Golden Age superhero key at an accessible price point relative to the Action/Detective/Batman tier.
