Key Facts: These two scarce 1972 mass-market paperbacks from Paperback Library were among the very first collected editions of the legendary Green Lantern/Green Arrow “Hard Travelling Heroes” run by writer Dennis O’Neil and artist Neal Adams. The stories marked a revolutionary shift in mainstream superhero comics by tackling real-world social issues such as racism, poverty, environmental destruction, political corruption, and drug addiction (most famously the “Snowbirds Don’t Fly” heroin storyline with Speedy). Volume 1 primarily collects early road-trip stories (#76–79 and Showcase material), while Volume 2 continues with later issues including the groundbreaking drug arc. These small-format paperbacks with Neal Adams covers and interior art are highly sought after by collectors as early and rare printings of one of the most influential comic runs of the 1970s.
