This issue features some of the earliest DC work by Alex Toth. Both "The Fool Comes to Town" and "The Tricks of the Sportsmaster" were representative of Toth's skill with character illustration and his use of panels to advance the flow of visual storytelling.

  1. "THE FOOL COMES TO TOWN" a criminal escapes from prison, baffling Green Lantern with seemingly foolish things.
  2. TON O' FUN
  3. "THE TRICKS OF THE SPORTS MASTER" Crusher Crock returns from the dead in the new persona of the sports master.
  4. COTTON-TOP KATIE
  5. "THE LAST CRIMINAL ON EARTH" 2547 A.D. is a utopia where anyone can make anything they want but one man insists on being a criminal so he travels back to 1947 when only Green Lantern can stop him.
