Batman and Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) — as noted on the CGC label. This is the first issue of the relaunched Brave and the Bold ongoing series, pairing DC's two most iconic heroes in a dynamic team-up adventure.

Cover Details

The stunning George Pérez cover depicts Batman and Hal Jordan's Green Lantern soaring over a glowing cityscape at night, with Green Lantern's power ring energy cutting across the composition in vivid green. The cover is a masterclass in superhero design from one of the medium's greatest artists. Two different covers exist for this issue, both by George Pérez — as noted on the CGC label. This listing features the George Pérez cover variant with Batman and Green Lantern.

Issue Significance

This is the first issue of the 2007 Brave and the Bold ongoing series — a landmark relaunch of the classic DC team-up title. Written by Mark Waid with art by the legendary George Pérez, this series was celebrated as a love letter to classic DC storytelling and superhero adventure. Pérez's detailed, dynamic artwork on this series is considered some of his finest late-career work. First issues in CGC 9.8 are always in demand among DC collectors.

Back Cover

Features a period-authentic Sony Pictures DVD advertisement promoting the Ghost Rider theatrical release (February 16, 2007) alongside other titles including Spider-Man, Hellboy, Men in Black II, Final Fantasy, xXx, and XXX: State of the Union — a fun snapshot of early 2007 pop culture.
