Horror Fantasy Graphic Novel Superhero Space Opera Young Adult Action/Adventure

Green Lantern: Blackest Night (DC, 2010) is the landmark hard-cover first edition that collects Geoff Johns and Doug Mahnke’s game-changing space-epic. Revered by collectors and new readers alike, this volume delivers the full “Blackest Night” saga—an inter-galactic war where the emotional spectrum explodes across the cosmos and fallen heroes rise as terrifying Black Lanterns. Johns’ tight scripting and Mahnke’s cinematic pencils turn what could have been a simple zombie crossover into a sweeping, emotional story about will, fear, love and redemption that still reverberates through every later Green Lantern arc.

What makes this copy especially appealing is its highly collectible status: a true first printing encased in the original dust jacket, now scarce in nice condition. The book is rated very good—pages are crisp, bright and unmarked, free of the dog-eared corners that plague most children’s & YA shelves, while the jacket shows only light creasing along the top back edge. For gift-givers, the sturdy hardcover format and age-spanning content (ages 9-12 through adult) mean one purchase entertains an entire household, bridging the gap between middle-grade fantasy fans and longtime DC readers.

Owning Green Lantern: Blackest Night in first-edition hardcover is like holding a piece of modern comics history. Story-wise it is the culmination of years of Green Lantern mythology; physically it is a shelf-showcase piece whose value and readability only increase with time.
