Showcase #22 (Oct. 1959)

Dear Editor,

First, I need to thank you for reprinting Showcase #22. It was great to read the first Green Lantern stories.

I really liked how the book didn't have just a single story—it had three. All of the stories were pretty good. I particularly liked how Hal tries and fails to get the girl in every story.

I do kind of wish that the stories had more information about the villans. Maybe some simple motivations, why do they want to attack Ferris Aviation? I guess we did get that a little in the third story with the missile but even then it wasn't all that much.

And about that missile… how is it that GL couldn't blast it because it was yellow but he could catch it in his net? I mean wouldn't the missile go right though the net too. I guess the net must have caught that little red tip of the missile. GL got really luck there.

Thanks,
Jeff King
