Indexer Notes
Concluded from Action Comics Weekly 634. A published interview with the author indicates that this story was to have been continued, and would have explored the implications of Hal Jordan wearing Malvolio's power ring. Mark Waid has confirmed that colorist "Amory Williams" is a pseudonym for the one-time coloring team of Dan Raspler and Mark Waid.
