Description
You really wouldn't have to be told that this piece was created in the 1960s. Just LOOKING at the hypnotic rings and large eyes, you'd know that cartoony style hasn't been used since...maybe the 70s but more likely the 60s.

Oh, but please don't read that as a knock because I LOVE it that way. And I also love that it is a 1/2 page piece for a similar reason. Current comics DO NOT (or at the very least RARELY) use half the page for advertising or self-promotion. And I miss that too. I greatly enjoyed seeing what was coming out. Kids...this was before there was an internet or a book telling you what was coming out and when... we all had to be surprised when looking at the new comics.

And who doesn't love seeing the villain in a CAPE! Bwah-hah-haa!

Okay, finally... I LOVE Sid Greene's inks. He is masterful at taking what he's given and bringing extra dimension to it. Not to diminish the work of any penciller, but adding Greene's inks really polishes up a page.

The art with the hypnotic concentric circles and Green Lantern's pulpils dialting from it are ahead of its time.  The half page is often overlooked in this era as it forces the artist to choose the right story beat to show in half the space, have an ad break, then allow for next page to ramp up once again.
