With some splash pages thrown in for good measure…
For most folks, when you think of DC and Dave Gibbons — who was born 72 years ago on April 14, 1949 — you think Watchmen. That’s only natural.
But don’t forget his ’80s Green Lantern run, mostly with Len Wein (but also famously with Alan Moore).
Gibbons wasn’t on the title long but he did make his mark, so here are 13 COVERS spotlighting the Emerald Gladiators. (Really, it’s 10 covers and three splash pages, but we make the rules, so we get to break the rules.)
Dig it.
