The Green Lantern Corps Annual 1986 #2 Direct ed. - back issue - $7.00
At the Guardians Prison, Sinestro tells stories to the imprisoned Sector 3600, in hopes of waking it up and freeing him.
An outcast of society is offered a chance to join the Green Lantern Corps, but rejects the offer... and the Guardians.
An ancient and respected Green Lantern fights the one foe he cannot defeat-- old age.
Abin Sur seeks a crippled ship that has crashed on Ysmault, a lifeless planet in a forbidden territory by the Guardians. There Abin finds The Empire of Tears-- hellish demons that taunt him, including Qull of the Five Inversions. Qull freely answers three questions for Abin about the crippled ship, Abin's future and the Guardians' greatest catastrophe. And in doing so destroys Abin Sur years in the future.
