<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Five decades after his first appearance, this volume collects the greatest moments of the ground-breaking, fan-favorite Green Lantern, John Stewart!</b> <p/>Created by comic book legends Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams, John Stewart changed both DC's fictional universe and the comics industry itself. Introduced as a substitute for Hal Jordan, DC's primary Green Lantern, John Stewart was DC's first Black superhero, and over the years grew from a back-up player to a main character and arguably the most recognizable Green Lantern. Stewart starred in the <i>Green Lantern</i> series for a time and later his own series, <i>Green Lantern: Mosaic</i>, and was featured in other media adaptations including the beloved <i>Justice League</i> cartoon. <p/>Fifty years following John Stewart's debut, this collection highlights the character's greatest moments over the decades--both space-faring and Earth-bound--from his first appearance in the legendary O'Neil/Adams <i>Green Lantern</i> run, to taking over from Hal Jordan as Earth's Green Lantern, and being rechristened as the first mortal Guardian of the Universe. <p/>This volume includes <i>Green Lantern</i> Vol. 2 #87, #182, #185, <i>Green Lantern</i> Vol. 3 #74, #156, <i>Green Lantern</i> Vol. 4 #49, <i>Green Lantern: Mosaic</i> #18, and <i>Justice League of America</i> #110.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Geoff Johns is an award-winning writer and one of the most popular contemporary comic book writers today.
