The young and hip team of writer Denny O'Neil and artist Neal Adams took a major step forward for the medium, proving that superhero stories could tackle relevant real world problems like systemic racism, over-population and most memorably, heroin addiction when Green Arrow's long-time kid sidekick Speedy is shockingly revealed to be an addict. Green Lantern #76 was the start of the iconic "Green Lantern/Green Arrow" run. This is the first time we've ever had the honor of offering a page from this milestone comic book story that has likely been reprinted more times than any other non-origin story issue. Many comic historians believe this issue marked the end of the Silver Age and the start of the Bronze Age of comics, an era marked by less innocence and more content reflecting vast changes in American society that took place in the late 60s and early 70s. Here is a rare opportunity to own a piece of comic book history, a Neal Adams page from the significant Green Lantern #76 (1970) featuring both Green Lantern and his new partner Green Arrow in a climatic moment where they capture the villain of the story. Dimensions: This art has an image area of approximately 10" x 15".
