Judas World!

Story Featuring Green Lantern

Storyline

The Pharoids transform themselves and their planet into a copy of Earth, having gleaned information from Green Lantern when he passed by their planet previously. Trigus lures him to Pharon IV, hoping he can help avert all-out war with the Dalgovians, and Green Lantern forces both parties to the peace table after destroying their major weapon systems.

The Gladiator's Apprentice

Story Featuring Green Lantern Corps

Storyline

Wylxa despairs of his apprentice Tahr ever learning to be a good Green Lantern, until he remembers when he too was first wielding the green power ring. The final image of Tahr is different from the rest of the story in hair color, shape of head, neckline of the uniform, and eyebrows. Don Milne believes it is drawn by a different, uncredited artist. Via Facebook, Paris Cullins agrees with Milne's assessment and suggested the hand of Ernie Colón.
