Green Lantern 1960 #169 Direct ed. - back issue - $4.00
The three Green Lanterns are each featured in their own separate battles.
The framing sequence involves completion of a psychodrama performed by other Green lanterns for Hal Jordan and appears to be continued from the previous issue: it is continued in the next issue. In the main story, a boy on a planet of mental giants is exiled for his inadequacies, granted a Green Lantern's ring, and saves other exiles who are being attacked after returning to Tanjent in captured alien spaceships.
Lysandra and Spol are both new Green Lanterns and battle with different understandings of the situation to save Lysandra's planet from a cosmic danger.
