Notes
"When Abin Sur's spacecraft crashed to Earth, the dying Green Lantern used his Power Ring to summon the only man who was worthy enough to take his place. Thus Hal Jordan, jet fighter test pilot, became the new Green Lantern of Earth. This hardcover masterpiece reprints the original tales of Hal as he learns both the limits and powers of his Power Ring and fights against surreal foes such as the Invisible Destroyer and the Giant Puppet. In these timeless tales, we see how an ordinary man begins his journey of becoming one of the world's greatest champions." [per solicitation] Series design by Alex Jay/Studio J.

Notes
Credits in Green Lantern #100 list this as Gil Kane pencils only, as do the Schwartz pay records. The credits in 80-Page Green Lantern Annual and Green Lantern Archives #1 list this as Kane, Sekowsky, Andru, Infantino and Giella. Art Spotter Gene Reed provided the page numbers for the pencils. Some pages may be combinations of more than one penciller. It is believed that while Kane was paid for the job the others were involved in the artwork. Possibly helping with deadline issues.
