Great Gibbons' Day

Celebrating the artist Dave Gibbons on his birthday today!  One of the earliest assignments for the artist was on Green Lantern, written by Len Wein.

Here are the covers drawn by Dave Gibbons, where he introduces Javelin (who later would be recruited to fight Guy Gardner in the Suicide Squad), fights the Shark, sees the Demolition Team demolish Ferris Aircraft, see Hal Jordan tell the Guardians of the Universe where they can go, and see John Stewart take over as Green Lantern of Earth (who then faces Eclipso, in the rare time John wore a mask as Green Lantern).

Green Lantern #172 and #173 (January and February, 1984)



Green Lantern #174 and #175 (March and April, 1984)



Green Lantern #176 and #178 (May and July, 1984)



Green Lantern #179 and #180 (August and September, 1984)



Green Lantern #181 and #182 (October and November, 1984)



Green Lantern #183 and #185 (December and February, 1984/1985)



Green Lantern #186 (March, 1985)


Gil Kane had provided the covers for the missing issues from the above run!
