Green Lantern #87 demonstrates disciplined liquidity depth and stable sovereign grade spread characteristics across current secondary market trading.
Institutional-grade core holding providing high liquidity and stability.
Home of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Justice League.
Comics grow darker and more socially aware. Wolverine, Punisher, Swamp Thing debut. Creator-driven storytelling emerges.
Newsstand variants carry meaningful scarcity premiums. First appearances from this era are blue-chip investments.
Julius Schwartz
In illiquid alternative asset markets, sovereign blue-chip holdings trade at an exponential multiple over mid-grade float due to institutional accumulation and inelastic seller reservation prices.
As Green Lantern charges his ring, an earthquake hits Coast City. He investigates, saving lives, including that of his friend Guy Gardner who is injured after being hit by a bus. Hal worries that with Guy out of commission, there will be no one to replace him if something goes wrong. Suddenly, the image of one of the Guardians of the Universe appears, stating that there must be an alternate replacement selected. The Guardians lead Green Lantern to a ghetto where John Stewart is standing up to a police officer. Hal has his doubts about Stewart, but the Guardian is insistent. After Hal explains the job, John Stewart accepts, joking that he will need to be called the "Black Lantern". Hal teaches John the Oath, and gives John a ring. Hal creates a Green Lantern uniform for John, but John refuses to wear the domino mask; he tosses it aside, saying "This black man lets it all hang out! I've got nothing to hide!" Together, the Lanterns deal with a protest against Jeremiah Clutcher, a racist senator, but John seems ambivalent. Hal assigns John to protect Senator Clutcher, to teach him a lesson, but when a would-be assassin attacks Clutcher, John refuses to act, and Hal is forced to chase the assassin down by himself. Despite his earlier inaction, John thwarts a gunman from killing a nearby policeman. When Hal returns to chastise John Stewart, John reveals that he had seen both gunmen earlier, and allowed the assassin to escape because he knew the gun contained blanks. Both shootings were part of a ploy to make it seem as though John was on a rampage, and Clutcher was a hero. Afterwards, Hal admits that he's not a fan of John's style but however nonetheless accepts him as a recruit, to which the other replies that style is no more important than the color of one's skin.

When Guy Gardner is injured, the Guardians of the Universe instruct Hal Jordan to train another back-up, but John Stewart has different ideas about how to be a Lantern. When an attempt is seemingly made on the life of racist politician Jeremiah Clutcher, John Stewart figures out that the attack was faked and part of a cynical plot to get Clutcher elected president.
After Green Arrow witnesses the death of a young boy in a riot, he decides that he might be able to do more for his city as its mayor.
Hal Jordan explains to Pieface why Abin Sur came to Earth in a spaceship when all Green Lanterns can travel thru space unaided.
