With the new GREEN LANTERN #1 just over a month away, DC Comics announces that this hotly anticipated debut issue will sport a spectacular variant cover painted by superstar artist Alex Ross!
" I ' m not sure whether I was asked to do this cover or I volunteered, because I ' m so devoted to Hal Jordan, but I ' m thrilled to be a part of this project, " says Ross. " GREEN LANTERN has what I look for in comics: a respect for the past and an embracing of an archetypal character. "
Ross ' s cover serves as a companion piece to the cover by series artists Carlos Pacheco & Jesus Merino. Retailers will receive the two covers in a 50% split.
GREEN LANTERN #1 (MAR050403) is written by Geoff Johns, with interior art by Carlos Pacheco & Jesus Merino. It is solicited in the March Previews (Volume XV #3) and is scheduled to arrive in stores on May 25.
