Hal Jordan, introduced as Green Lantern at the end of the 1950s, quickly became known as the greatest of the intergalactic corps of lawmen known as the Green Lanterns--as well as the symbol of DC's move into the Silver Age of comics, with a career as a test pilot as well as close alliances with the Flash and the rest of the Justice League of America.
Green Lantern- The Silver Age Vol. 4 collects the adventures of Hal Jordan as he takes on the responsibility of the ring and the lantern in Green Lantern #36-48. In these tales Hal Jordan becomes trapped in a robot body, teams up with his fellow Green Lantern Tomar-Re to capture a being of pure atomic energy, battles his foes Black Hand and Star Sapphire and meets the Golden Age Green Lantern, Alan Scott.
