Green Lantern #146

Green Lantern number 146 was published by DC Comics in November 1981, emerging during a transitional period for the title under the creative direction of writer Mike W. Barr and artist Joe Staton. This issue features a narrative centered on the Green Lantern Corps, reflecting the series' ongoing effort to expand the cosmic scale of Hal Jordan's adventures beyond his terrestrial roots. The cover art, provided by Jim Aparo, captures the distinct high-contrast, dramatic style that defined DC's aesthetic in the early 1980s.

The issue is notable for its role in the broader DC continuity, contributing to the development of the Corps as a galactic peacekeeping force rather than a singular hero-centric title. By this time, the editorial team was focused on balancing space-faring science fiction elements with the personal stakes of the protagonist. While this specific issue is generally regarded by collectors as a mid-run staple rather than a major key, it is often sought after for its representative artwork and its place in the long-running Bronze Age saga of the Green Lantern mythos.
