Sadly, there was no Swamp Thing Quarterly.

Been going through some Green Lantern comics at home…you know, I kinda miss having this old Green Lantern Corps Quarterly series on the stands:


Actually, come to think of it, I miss most of DC’s quarterly anthologies. They had a good variety of short stories, by many creators…sure, a few stories weren’t quite ready for prime time, but the good generally outweighed the not-so-good. So, what were the other quarterly titles? Justice League Quarterly, Ms. Tree Quarterly…keep feel like I’m forgetting one. Liked all of three of those, at any rate.

Here’s something to annoy you: these extra-sized comics cost $2.95.

And hey, remember this redesign of the Golden Age Green Lantern?


Woo boy. That particular image was drawn by Jim “Tarot” Balent, by the way. “Get out of there, Alan…your ring is haunted!”*

Inside this issue is a brief reminder of which decade you were in, in case you forgot:


Oh, why, hello, the 1990s!
