The Green Lantern Gallery

My main collecting focus of recent is Green Lantern. Here's my collection so far:


Green Lantern 5:
Image
First appearance of Hector Hammond.

Green Lantern 7:
Image
First appearance of Sinestro.

Green Lantern 9:
Image
First cover appearance of Sinestro. Yes, those are burn marks on the cover, hence the reason I got it so cheap.

NEW Green Lantern 11:
Image

NEW Green Lantern 12
Image

NEW Green Lantern 15
Image

NEW Green Lantern 16:
Image
First appearance of Star Sapphire!

Green Lantern 23:
Image
First Appearance of the Tattooed Man!

NEW Green Lantern 24:
Image

NEW Green Lantern 25:
Image

NEW Green Lantern 28:
Image

NEW Green Lantern 29:
Image
First appearance of Black Hand.

NEW Green Lantern 31
Image

NEW Green Lantern 32:
Image

Green Lantern 33:
Image
A cool Dr. Light cover

NEW Green Lantern 37:
Image

NEW Green Lantern 38:
Image

NEW Green Lantern 39:
Image

Green Lantern 40:
Image
Hal Jordan v. Alan Scott, plus the origin of "Infinite Earths" of many DC Crises fame. This is one of my favorite Green Lantern covers of all time, if not my favorite.

Green Lantern 48:
Image
This cover always strikes me because Hal Jordan's face looks so strange.

NEW Green Lantern 50:
Image

Green Lantern 54:
Image

Green Lantern 56:
Image

NEW Green Lantern 59:
Image
First appearance of Guy Gardner.

NEW Green Lantern 64:
Image

Green Lantern 74:
Image
This is a pretty dynamic cover, between Hal's pose, and Sinestro ominously standing in front of them.

NEW Green Lantern 75:
Image
This is the last issue before the classic Denny O' Neill and Neil Adams run, and roughly the end of the silver age run of this book.

The Independent Gallery

One of my other loves is some of the indy books from the late 80s, early 90s. I grew tired of super heroes as I entered my teen years, and I started asking the guys at my shop to recommend some alternative stuff. Thus began my adoration of Bob Burden, Ben Edlund, Evan Dorkin, Mike Allred, and others.


Pirate Corp$ 1:
Image
Not many people know about this Evan Dorkin series, but it is, in my opinion, some of his best work. It was later printed as Hectic Planet.

Milk & Cheese 1 (2nd print):
Image
This is a placeholder until I get a first printing of this book.

It's Science With Dr. Radium 1:
Image
Scott Saavedra proves that science is fun in the future!

Madman 1:
Image
This is a bit of a place holder until I get Creatures of the Id #1, the first appearance of Frank Einstein (Madman).

The Tick 1 (2nd print):
Image
This is a place holder until I get a first printing of #1, and/or a special edition #1.

Flaming Carrot Comics 1:
Image
This is the original one shot that precedes the ongoing title by a couple years. This is from Bob Burden's personal stash of these. I bought it from the guys at the Gumby booth at Wondercon 2007.

Grendel, Devil By The Deed:
Image
It's no Primer #2, but I like this book. Signed and personalized to me by Matt Wagner.


I'm not a collector of Simpsons Comics, but these are neat:
Simpsons Comics 19:
Image
Signed and a head sketch of Homer by Matt Groening.

Simpsons Comics 19:
Image
Matt did a head sketch of Marge on this one.

Radioactive Man 1:
Image
Matt Groening Signed and did a Bart head sketch on this one.

This is every issue with every variant of the first 24 issues of Astonishing X-Men (and Giant-Size Astonishing X-Men). I sold this set and no longer have it, but it is still a cool complete set:
