Favorite Hal Jordan #1 cover
His actual First appearance doesn't count?
Showcase #22
Or Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #1 ?
What about his actual Rebirth cover, which relaunched the series?
GL Rebirth #1

Poll is for a #1 for a Hal ongoing. Only exception I made was GL #123 because it's essentially a relaunch for Hal. (And it's a really cool cover. lol)

"Relaunch" Great exception! Originally Posted by WallyWestFlash

Tales #1 where the Corps as it's own book first launched, as opposed to #201
Rebirth #1 where his return was relaunched.

FYI I do love that GL #123 Bronze age Gil Kane relaunch cover.

Easy. (2004) Johns relaunch by Carlos Pacheco
It's just such a character cover that can also work for a movie poster.
The Rebirth one would've been good if it doesn't have so much white space, and the New 52 is more about Sinestro.

GL #123 hands down - Gil Kane inked by Gil Kane. C'mon, now.
There are a couple of other #1s to include:
2005 - Green Lantern v4 variant by Alex Ross

2001 - The Spectre #1 by Ryan Sook

Just an FYI - that's the regular GL Rebirth #1 cover, not an alternate. Originally Posted by Güicho

The second printing is the one featuring Hal Jordan as GL.

I always liked that 123 cover. It does look like Gil Kane was probably just doing some Green Lantern pin-up art and someone at DC saw it and said that would make a great cover, so they used it for that issue.
