Green Lantern
DC Comics // July-August 1960 - October 1986
Issue count: 200
DC's run of character revivals from the Golden-Age struck gold once again with their 60's re-boot of GREEN LANTERN. Great stories and art made this one an instant classic! Check what early issues and key issues are worth by clicking the title!
Another re-imagining of past super-hero glory from DC in the 60's!
The new and improved Green Lantern first appeared in DC's Showcase #22-24 in 1959.
Taking the cue from the 1940's character, they retained several of the elements of the original GL, but gave him a makeover including a whole universe of Green Lanterns!
A proven winner, GL was given his own title in 1960. Authored by DC workhorses John Broome and Gardner Fox, what really made the series go over was the dynamic artwork of Gil Kane, who finally came into his own and took his place as a true comic master with his work on this title.
This team kept the book a best seller for 10 years, until issue #76, when Denny O'Neil took over writing duties and relative newcomer Neil Adams added his refreshing and refined skill to the art chores.
This run of the series is often credited with bringing DC into the Social-Realism realm, confronting such topical issues as the anti-war movement and drug addiction in it's storylines, and remains relevent to this day.
Needless to say, although the the series ran for many more years, it is these two periods in the books' legend that are the most collectible!

What's Green Lantern #76 worth in 2024?
Only two copies have surfaced graded NM/MT 9.8. That book brought $31,000 in 2014. This book is very affordable in all but the highest grades as there are over 2,000 issues registered with the CGC Census. A 6FN 6.0 can be purchased for the very reasonable sum of $500 compared to as low as $150 in 2009. A GD 2.0 only brings $150 currently which is not very far off the $75it cost in 2015. While not a hot commodity it is a snapshot into American history and well worth the price.
Why is this comic book valuable?
Green Lantern #76 is valuable because Green Arrow joins the book as well as being the first comic that shined a light on relevant social themes of the day. In this issue the Green Arrow takes the Green lantern and introduces him to an African-American man that admonishes Green Lantern for helping aliens before earth's minorities. Classic art by legendary comic book artist Neal Adams as well.
