Value Highlights

Publication Details: Released in June 1990, Green Lantern #1 kicks off the third series, reestablishing Hal Jordan post-Crisis and setting the stage for the controversial “Emerald Twilight” arc. It’s a foundational issue for the modern Green Lantern mythos.
Key Moments: Hal, Guy, and John reunite as the Corps reemerges, with Hal facing a life-altering decision about his role as Green Lantern. The Justice League nod adds crossover appeal, making this a fan-favorite launch.
Condition and Pricing: As of March 2025, raw near-mint (NM) copies from standard circulation range from $5–$10 on platforms like eBay and MyComicShop. This uncirculated distributor pack copy, likely NM or better, commands $15–$25 due to its pristine, untouched state. CGC 9.8 graded copies fetch $40–$60, with uncirculated provenance potentially pushing values higher.
Creative Team: Gerard Jones’ grounded narrative, paired with Pat Broderick’s detailed pencils and Bruce Patterson’s inks, crafts a fresh yet nostalgic start to the ’90s Green Lantern era.

Market Trends

Uncirculated Rarity: Sourced from a distributor pack, this copy avoided newsstand or shop handling, enhancing its appeal. Uncirculated comics often see a 20–30% premium over standard NM copies, with collectors prizing their factory-fresh condition—trending upward since 2024.
Green Lantern Resurgence: Hal Jordan’s legacy, bolstered by rumors of a 2025 Green Lanterns Corps #1 relaunch and potential DCU projects, keeps his early ’90s issues in demand. This debut could see a 10–15% value bump as Lantern buzz grows.
’90s Nostalgia: The 1990s DC relaunch era is heating up, with collectors chasing high-quality copies of series starters. Uncirculated #1s like this outperform circulated peers, reflecting a market shift toward preservation.
Speculative Appeal: As the lead-in to “Emerald Twilight” and Hal’s Parallax turn, this issue holds historical weight, appealing to investors betting on long-term Green Lantern relevance.

Power up with Green Lantern #1 (1990) from an uncirculated distributor pack—a launchpad to Hal Jordan’s modern era in untouched glory! With its rising value, pristine condition, and ties to Lantern lore, this comic is a radiant gem for collectors—ready to shine in your 2025 lineup!
