Gaint robots make everything better.

And now Batteries of Power are also Power Lamps.

SHOOT

Ring's got a small update to its appearance.

Man, this is an old trick in fiction huh?

That is, a complicated way to kill someone.

Modern comics don't use Yellow enough

That is fairly clever, of course, if that would make Hal's ring able to affect it or not is one of those things they would go back and forth on.

Modern comics overuse the same colors and they look very bleak

Shame not much came of giving a name to the head Weaponer, could have developed an opposing side with some personalities in it.

GL really doesn't care about collateral damage, does he?
Some farmer is going to be really pissed tomorrow morning.

Interesting the colorist painted the entire top-panel city yellow.

As usual, Hal has forgotten he can pick up non-yellow objects and use them to smash things he can't effect directly.

Really we should have seen the whole 'becoming yellow' thing coming.

one thing to keep in mind is the colors we're seeing in this kind of reprint are a bit off. Most colorists of the time were counting on the bad paper quality to darken the colors. It's not too bad here but it makes most reprints of say The Hard Traveling Heros stuff look both way too bright and really washed out.

Nooooo! Robot friend!

And Carol starts down a road of being written in a way that often leaves people as not big fans of her.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-018.jpg (1988x3056, 1.64M)

I love how enthusiastic Hal is about his card tricks. Being back his card tricks writers!

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-020.jpg (1988x3056, 1.76M)

It's not a bad scheme really.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-021.jpg (1988x3056, 1.6M)

Later stories will not have it be common knowledge that Hal's ring needs to be charged.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-022.jpg (1988x3056, 1.54M)

And here we go...

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-023.jpg (1988x3056, 1.58M)

Yeah, shocking middle age guys in the 60s are writing a woman as SUPER superficial.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-024.jpg (1988x3056, 1.66M)

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-025.jpg (1988x3056, 1.33M)

Man, they came close to getting away with it.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-026.jpg (1988x3056, 1.54M)

Still lots of transforming bullets into stuff.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-027.jpg (1988x3056, 1.49M)

Yeah... I know some people who say they like Carol not because of how she's been written but in spite of it. They see the great concept that a few writers bring to the surface, and just feel bad for her being bogged down by other writers.

Time for one of Hal's villains to make his entrance.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-029.jpg (1988x3056, 1.29M)

Villians not getting their iconic elements until their second appearance is going to be a thing with Hal's enemies.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-031.jpg (1988x3056, 1.72M)

There is also our first example of a story filling a whole issue. This means it's called a novel, because 26 pages, novel same thing.

Man Hal is not even on her mind anymore.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-034.jpg (1988x3056, 1.87M)

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-035.jpg (1988x3056, 1.76M)

Man, just imagine being given a power ring and told to go to it.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-036.jpg (1988x3056, 1.43M)

Hector's initial desire for Carol is one of those mostly forgotten elements of the charhcter.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-037.jpg (1988x3056, 1.68M)

Well, this is going to get awkward.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-039.jpg (1988x3056, 1.55M)

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-040.jpg (1988x3056, 1.5M)

shoot this should go next.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-038.jpg (1988x3056, 1.54M)

Well.... shoot.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-041.jpg (1988x3056, 1.76M)

Ahhh yes, comic books and its... not great understanding of evolution.

Amusing this kind of ability was the sort of thing Morrison had to go out of their way to bring back.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-044.jpg (1988x3056, 1.57M)

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-045.jpg (1988x3056, 1.63M)

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-046.jpg (1988x3056, 1.73M)

The first example of ring arm wrestling, it'll be a thing.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-047.jpg (1988x3056, 1.54M)

Going squid.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-048.jpg (1988x3056, 1.71M)

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-049.jpg (1988x3056, 1.75M)

That image of Hal in the first panel got a lot of use as the default image used to represent him around this time.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-050.jpg (1988x3056, 1.52M)

When getting hit on the head is good luck. Truly that is Hal's way.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-053.jpg (1988x3056, 1.56M)

no wait shoot!

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-054.jpg (1988x3056, 1.26M)

Enter Tomar-Re!

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-056.jpg (1988x3056, 1.23M)

Going all-in on the sci-fi kind of story.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-057.jpg (1988x3056, 1.82M)

thanks!

As we can see at this point Green Lantern is just what all... Possessors of Batteries of Powers are called. I suppose we can take it as a soft-retcon that Aibn Sur mentioned that name to Hal.

Attached: The Green Lantern Chronicles v2-059.jpg (1988x3056, 1.54M)

Hal really has no luck huh?
