| StoryTitle12 = Green Lantern: "And Then There Was One" | Synopsis12 = The head of a dissatisfied gang is visited by his brother, "the Professor", who comes by to supply the results of some research. As they both suspected, they trace their lineage to the Baron of York, but the Professor kills his brother, planning to take advantage of this knowledge alone. When the rest of the gang ask why they should take orders from him, the new Baron declares that he can find and revive Solomon Grundy to aid their cause, despite the creature's apparent death during a struggle with the Green Lantern.)

A Tibetan Lama projects himself into the power lamp, warning Alan Scott that someone's intent on awakening his worst enemy. He charges up his ring and with Doiby in tow flies off to the railyard where they had their final confrontation with Solomon Grundy. The gangsters have exhumed Grundy's body, and GL and Doiby arrive just as the Baron restores him to life with an injection of chlorophyll. This causes Grundy to turn green, but he pays it no mind as he remembers his old enemies and clubs them both over the head, leaving them for dead. The gang embarks of a cross-country crusade of crime, with their final target being New York city itself. The Baron declares that when it's conquered, he'll "assume feudal rights" and become the Baron of New York. Grundy, however, decides he doesn't need the Baron and that *he'll* become a ruler after strangling the former mastermind.

Before Grundy can begin his assault on New York City, Green Lantern arrives and attacks the undead villain. Because Grundy had been brought back to life by chlorophyll, he's taken on characteristics of plant life, and thus is susceptible to Green Lantern's attacks. Now knowing fear, Grundy flees from Green Lantern across entire states before his strength finally deserts him in the petrified forests of Arizona. Green Lantern traps Grundy in a power bubble and leaves him there, hopefully forever. As he explains: "Concentrated chlorophyll recreated Solomon Grundy, but gave him the attributes of a plant. Thus his light green color and lesser resistance to my Power Ring. As a previous distortion of nature, he didn't breathe--but with new plant characteristics he did! So - once he exhausts the carbon dioxide inside his airtight prison he'll turn white again and become as petrified as his surroundings!"

| Notes = * Published bi-monthly by Gainlee Publishing Co. This 76-page magazine sold for fifteen cents a copy, in an era when almost all other comics were 64 pages, for ten cents. * **Green Lantern** ** In Green Lantern's story, the Tibetan Lama seems inconsistent with any other story: he is referred to by Alan as "one of the lamas that gave the Lantern to him". It is very known that Alan found the lantern in a train, without any donors. ** Due to the chlorophyll in his body, Solomon Grundy becomes more vulnerable to the Power Ring, which is inconsistent with the depiction of Green Lantern's powers (Alan Scott's Power Ring doesn't affect wood and plants). ** Solomon Grundy would be freed from the energy bubble in a later story . | Trivia = * Solomon Grundy had green skin in this issue, 16 years before the first appearance of a well-known character. | Recommended = *All-American Comics Vol 1 61 | Links =
