This review is from: The Green Lantern Archives, Vol. 4 (DC Archive Editions) (Hardcover)
With stories by Gardner Fox and John Broome, _Green Lantern Archives: Volume 4_ collects the Green Lantern stories from _Green Lantern_ (2nd Series) Nos. 22 (July 1963) - 29 (June 1964). An entertaining read, this is the first DC Archive Edition that I have read featuring Hal Jordan as Green Lantern, so I cannot address the specific concerns of other reviewers. However, despite any critiques, these stories, the majority of which feature fantastic science fiction plots, are important in laying the groundwork for future issues, as they feature new conflicts with Hector Hammond, Star Sapphire, and Sonar, and introduce important new adversaries like the Shark and the Black Hand, as well as minor ones like the Tattooed Man and the alien mage Myrwhydden, who had been imprisoned within Jordan's power ring by his predecessor Abin Sur. The stories also further develop Jordan's relationship with Carol Fenris and Tom Kalmaku as well as his fellow Green Lanterns, specifically the grasshopper-like Xax.

This review is from: The Green Lantern Archives, Vol. 4 (DC Archive Editions) (Hardcover)
This Silver Age collection is decent but the creative team really picks up steam in Volumes 5 and especially Volume 6. If you don't have any of these Green Lantern collections, I'd suggest starting with Volume 5 or 6. The first four volumes are decent; but in that rudimentary Silver Age way. The art and stories improve as time goes on, and I for one am looking forward greatly to further volumes in this series.
