Green Lantern #28

Although the cover teases a story involving Hal Jordan and Star Sapphire, the latter only appears in the issue’s epilogue and only for a few panels foreshadowing some larger danger coming. As for Hal, we get plenty of him both on Earth tracking down and terrorizing a criminal from outer space who had planned to terraform the planet to grow a valuable crystal (regardless of what that would have done to life on Earth) and on Oa where the Green Lantern is called in after an unexpected discovery is made by Guy Gardner and Sojourner Mullein.
