These days, following Green Lantern: Rebirth and the success of Blackest Night, Hal Jordan's pretty much one of the golden boys of DC. Of course, that wasn't always the case. Times was, he was getting his arse kicked on a regular basis by a guy wearing a gold suit!
And that full page spread's the opening punch!
The most powerful weapon in the universe and it's no use at all!
And just when Jordan thinks he's got the upper hand, there's that two-fisted punch.
Goldface - a villain so, so in need of the same reboot that Black Hand, Hector Hammond and other Green Lantern villains have had.

Jordan's beat down first appeared in Green Lantern #145, cover dated October 1981, written by Marv Wolfman with art by Joe Staton.
Actually, Goldface got an update, in the pages of the Flash in Geoff Johns' run. He went straight, more or less. Zzzzzz.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah - didn't he become a union boss or something?
