Celebrating Artist Phil Jimenez

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).

National Quitter's Day

Happy National Quitter's Day!  

If you are going to give up your New Year's resolutions...today is the day!

You end up in good company...Hal Jordan quit the Green Lantern Corps on Oa in Green Lantern #181 (October, 1984, cover by Dave Gibbons), and Guy Gardner quit the Justice League America on Almerac in Justice League America #63 (June, 1992, cover by Dan Jurgens and Rick Burchett).
