Indexer Notes
Story in three parts of 11 pages, 7.67 pages, and 5.67 pages.
GCD previously attributed this story’s inks to Murphy Anderson, but the inks in this story are not consistent with Anderson’s highly distinctive style. Bob Rozakis correctly credited Joe Giella with this story’s inks in Green Lantern #100 (January 1978). The Giella credit was repeated in Green Lantern Annual #1 (1998). DC incorrectly attributed this story to Anderson in Green Lantern Archives vol. 3 (2001) and in Showcase Presents Green Lantern vol. 2 (2007).
