Cover shows moderate wear consistent with a mid-grade Silver Age book: visible vertical crease running through the left side of the logo, a spine roll with several small ticks along the spine edge, and slight corner softness at top left. There is minor surface wear and a small stain/discoloration near the top left corner. The cover gloss is diminished with some scuffing but colors remain bright with no major color breaks. Interior pages and back cover were not visible in this photo and were not assessed.

// Archive commentary
Green Lantern #46 arrived in the summer of 1966 as part of the title's steady Silver Age run under writer John Broome, with Gil Kane supplying the dynamic, sculptural cover and interior art that defined the character's look throughout the decade. The issue is a solo Hal Jordan adventure predating the socially conscious Green Lantern/Green Arrow team-up era that began a few years later, and it reflects the more straightforward space-opera and villain-of-the-month storytelling that characterized the book's mid-1960s output. There is no first appearance, death, or landmark story beat tied to this specific issue; its interest rests on Kane's artwork and its place in a well-collected run rather than on any single historic event.
