Celebrating Artist Joe Staton

Celebrating the birthday of artist Joe Staton (January 19, 1948) with a look at Year One of one of the characters Joe was most associated with...Guy Gardner.

In Guy Gardner #11 (August, 1993), Guy is kidnapped by the alien Draal, who want to make use of his talents, so they replicate him (forcing Guy to relive memories of his family....dad, Rolly; mom, Peg and brother, Mace) as they make a replicant of him.  

Guy works with other former Green Lanterns the Draal have kidnapped (including Graf, Bivvix, RRU-9-2 and Voz) to escape.  Eventually they do, and Guy gets back to Earth to confront his clone....who has made a mess of the Justice League America (in issues of their title running concurrently with this saga).
