Millennium Edition: Green Lantern

    (DC, 2000)
™ and © 2000 DC Comics

To celebrate the end of one millennium and the beginning of another, DC Comics published a series of Millennium Editions that reprinted significant books from the Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Modern Ages of Comics. Having relaunched Green Lantern as a super-hero with decidedly science fiction trappings in 1959, editor Julius Schwartz took the Emerald Gladiator in another direction in 1970 when he hired writer Denny O’Neil (Batman) and artist Neal Adams (X-Men) to take the creative reins of the title. O’Neil and Adams addressed many of the social issues of the day—pollution, overpopulation, racial tensions, women’s rights, drug abuse, etc.—in their stellar thirteen-issue run that teamed the “square” Green Lantern with the “hip” Green Arrow—and occasionally the “liberated” Black Canary—and brought relevancy to comics.
