CGC 1248341015 10/1970 - In "Even an Immortal Can Die," for putting the welfare of Green Lantern ahead of the ecological welfare of the planet Earth, the Guardians of the Universe send Old-Timer, accompanied by Green Lantern and Green Arrow as witnesses, to the planet Gallo to be judged by the Tribune. Few can argue that the landmark Green Lantern series co-starring a revitalized Green Arrow played a big part in changing the superhero genre. Denny O'Neil's socially-relevant scripts, with the taut, dynamic artwork of Neal Adams (not to mention the crisp inking of Dick Giordano) set the stage for a more-realistic comic book, one that wasn't afraid to tackle tough subjects like poverty, racism, and drug abuse head on.
