Gil Kane Action Comics Weekly #642 Green Lantern Page 1 Original Art (DC, 1989). "Where There Is A Will..." asks the question: If Hal Jordan dies, who will be the new Green Lantern? Abin Sur stars in this opening page. This piece has an image area of 10" x 14". Aside from a photocopied close-up figure at the right of the final panel, the art is in Very Good condition. Signed at the upper right.

Kane, Gil:Eli Katz, who worked under the name Gil Kane and in a few instances Scott Edwards, was a comic book artist whose career spanned the 1940s to 1990s and every major comics company and character. Kane co-created the modern-day versions of the superheroes Green Lantern and the Atom for DC Comics, and co-created Iron Fist with Roy Thomas for Marvel Comics. He was involved in such major storylines as a groundbreaking arc in The Amazing Spider-Man #96–98 (May-July 1971) that, at the behest of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, bucked the then-prevalent Comics Code Authority to depict drug abuse, and ultimately spurred an update of the Code. Kane additionally pioneered an early graphic novel prototype, His Name is...Savage, in 1968, and a seminal graphic novel, Blackmark, in 1971. In 1997, he was inducted into both the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame and the Harvey Award Jack Kirby Hall of Fame. . Comic Art
