A tough to find copy of one of the Silver Age's biggest books! This issue of D.C’s Showcase Presents that brought us the origin and first appearance of the Silver Age Green Lantern currently ranks #10 on Overstreet's list of Top 50 Silver Age Comics, and was one of the fastest climbers on that chart from 2018 to 2019. Published for September and October 1959, the comic is also the first appearance of Abin Sur and Carol Ferris. Featuring the “Menace of the Runaway Missile” as stated on the front cover, the cover inking has been done by the iconic Gil Kane, who has also contributed to the interior art with Joe Giella while the story was done by John Broome. Freshy graded by CGC and coming back a GOOD 2.5 with off-white pages, the book shows extensive creasing to both covers with a tear and staining seen over the reverse. Edge, corner and spine wear are also present with the staples free from rusting.
