Back in 2011 I scanned a bunch of stuff Green Lantern related because the movie was about to come out and I was kind of excited. So, given yesterday’s GL centric post, it seemed like a good time to repost some of those images.

Back in 1983, DC began publishing high quality reprints of some of their older material. Green Lantern/Green Arrow was one of those reprint series. These were really cool books and had some really slick covers.

Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn was popular when it was first published. So popular that it got its own inexpensive trade paperback. This was from a time when trades were reserved for big stories, so this was a big deal. The $4.95 price tag seems so quaint now. This was similar to the first trades of Batman: A Death in the Family. Both were printed on the cheapest paper that could be found at the time.

As I wrote yesterday, I loved the first story arc from the 1990 Green Lantern series. Pat Broderick’s art had a lot to do with that. That first issue cover is especially awesome. It was turned into a promo poster that I have been low key chasing for years now.

That’s it for today. As ever…

Husband. Pet dad to two mentally unstable poodles. Podcaster, but not the alpha-bro kind. Amateur Superman historian. Semi-Professional writer. Leap baby.

Mission Statement

The Bailey Planet is a lot of things. Part blog. Part journal. Part ramblings of a middle-aged man that is semi-retired as a comic book reader and collector. Part second home for the podcasts I host or co-host. Part archives for stuff I’ve scanned over the years. Part archives for anything related to The Death and Return of Superman.

It’s a lot of things.

As the graphic states, the focus will be Superman, Batman, and more. The more can be just about anything to do with comics and super-heroes. Expect more DC content than Marvel, but it’s not off the table.

Featured Pages

Patreon

I have a Patreon. It is essentially a tip jar for the moment, so I can’t promise exclusive content, but if you could chip in $1 a month that would help the cost of this site and the podcasts I produce. If you can’t, that’s cool. I know times are hard.
