DescriptionGil Kane is one of my all time favorite Artists! Green Lantern is one of my all time FAVORITE characters! Few drew Hal as great as Gil!Very fortunate to have picked up this Green Lantern Cover from Will Gabri-El. Eyed it for a while, and it was great to see he still had. And even though it was trimmed to fit in a frame, What a BEAUTIFUL COVER! Synopsis for "Lost In Space" Story continued from last issue.... Hal Jordan has been transported into space and stripped of all his memories of being Green Lantern by Star Sapphire. With no memory of how he got there, Hal begins to go mad, and when he wishes he could make a toy rocket that he has in his pocket take him home, he unconsciously activates his power ring which turns the toy into the real thing, causing the Green Lantern to remember who he is and return to Earth. There, Green Lantern learns that Sinestro is behind the resurrection of Star Sapphire and hopes to use her to destroy his most hated foe, even going so far as suggest that the two begin a relationship. As the battle rages on, Star Sapphire is torn between her loyalty to Sinestro and her desire to force Green Lantern to be her husband. Learning of the battle from the radio, Tom Kalmaku rushes off to help Hal the best he can. With his power ring drained of energy, Hal is easily defeated; however, before Sinestro can defeat the Green Lantern, Star Sapphire decides that she wants Green Lantern alive and battles Sinestro. As Green Lantern struggles to get away, he is met by Thomas who has brought his power battery to him, allowing the Green Lantern to recharge his ring and rejoin the battle. First Green Lantern uses his power to change Star Sapphire back into Carol Ferris and then begins to fight Sinestro once more. Sinestro suddenly gives up and turns over his yellow power ring to the Green Lantern. When the Green Lantern is puzzled, Sinestro explains that there are more than one way to win a battle before teleporting away. Green Lantern then checks to see how Carol is doing and decides to tell her once and for all that she is really Star Sapphire. The news horrifies Carol who ends up fleeing from the Green Lantern in tears. Later changing back to his civilian identity of Hal Jordan, he pays one last visit to his friend Thomas and tries to deal with losing Carol. Social/Sharing |

As we were discussing, these later 1960s Kane Green Lantern covers are not easy to come by and really demonstrate how an artist can be defined by a character all while the character is defined by the artist --great and rare example, congrats my friend !

I'm happy the Lantern in the title isn't perfectly centered .... Jokes aside. It's a beautiful cover. Congrats

What a great example with so many classic elements, all in Kane's "truest" style. I raise my ring to you, sir.

Kane's cover designs and skills of anatomy are truly some of the best in all of comics. He knew how to get the most drama out of the cover composition and the figurework showed the strain and effects of a hero in a vulnerable state. He combines the classic through the legs and hero in desperation art devices to maximize the theatrics into an operatic crescendo!

Nick congrats on getting one of the more iconic Gil Kane Green Lantern covers. Fantastic design, innovative composition and dynamic figure drawing are the hallmark of any Kane cover and this one has it all! Still remember when I first saw this displayed way back in 1996 at Mort Walker's International Museum of Cartoon Art when it was breifly located in Boca Raton, Florida. Glad it ended up with you!
