Green Lantern 1960 #157 Direct ed. - back issue - $5.00

Hal Jordan flies through space, menaced by a giant image of Hector Hammond.

Hector Hammond has been able to find another piece of the meteor that gave him his powers, and uses it to increase his powers. But overuse while trying to defeat Green Lantern reverts him back to his helpless state.

Charlie is becoming disgusted with the duties of a Green Lantern and the isolation of not being near any humans.

While attempting to rescue their mentor, Saren is injured and the wizard creates a dimension door so the team can escape an avalanche.
