Let no evil escape their sight! GREEN LANTERN: TRAITOR is a 144-page trade
paperback collecting the three connected stories from LEGENDS OF THE DC
UNIVERSE (issues #20, 21, 28, 29, 37, and 38). Written by Steven Grant (X-Man)
with inks by Klaus Janson (BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS) and a new painted
cover by Greg Staples, TRAITOR is a tale of three heroes, illustrated by
three different pencilers, separated by time but sharing the same impossible
goal - to put an end to the planet-shattering force that is possibly the
greatest evil to face the Green Lanterns: Traitor. A warrior genetically
engineered to be the ultimate conqueror, Traitor has sworn to eradicate
the only force to give pause to his brutal conquests: Green Lantern?any
Green Lantern. In the first chapter, Mike Zeck pencils a story of Abin Sur,
long before he passed his ring on to Hal Jordan, in a Wild West adventure
that introduces the threat of Traitor. Then legendary Silver Age Green Lantern
artist Gil Kane pencils the second Green Lantern encounter with Traitor,
featuring Hal. Finally, current Green Lantern Kyle Rayner faces Traitor
in the present day, in a story pencilled by Scott Kolins (THE FLASH). Will
the threat of Traitor finally be vanquished, or will it live on to face
generations of Green Lanterns to come?] |

where beautiful creatures coexist with frightening horrors, the only thing
that's right is Hal's sense of justice. This twisted reality needs cleaning
up, and Hal's just the lawman to do it! But in doing so, Hal discovers how
he can truly learn to focus his will and master the astonishing power he's
been given. And it is here that Hal, following the trail of an old friend,
sets off on one of the most astonishing adventures of Green Lantern's career!]
