Green Lantern #29 (1964) CGC 8.5 – First Black Hand

Black Hand operates a device that leaves Green Lantern’s lower body fading from view on the cover of Green Lantern #29. The street-level setting and the villain’s oversized foreground presence make the threat immediately clear, while the cover teaser asks whether “Half a Green Lantern Is Better Than None!”

The label also notes a Justice League of America cameo and credits John Broome and Gardner Fox stories, Gil Kane and Sid Greene art, and a Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson cover.
