Cover shows moderate wear typical of Silver Age issues: soft corners, a vertical crease running through the lower right area near the figure's leg, and slight surface scuffing/gloss loss across the black background. Spine appears to have minor stress but no major color breaks are clearly visible in this photo; slight edge wear along the top and right border. Book is in a protective sleeve which obscures fine texture detail. Interior and back cover were not assessed.

// Archive commentary
Green Lantern #67 arrived in March 1969, near the tail end of the character's original Silver Age solo run before the title's celebrated retooling into Green Lantern/Green Arrow the following year under Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams. The issue features Hal Jordan in a self-contained adventure typical of the period, with cover art attributed to Gil Kane, the artist most closely associated with the visual identity of the Green Lantern mythos throughout the 1960s. The book carries no first appearance, origin, or landmark creative milestone, and its cover has not entered the ranks of covers cited by major price guides as genre-defining.
Market data shows a modest, typical Silver Age curve: raw and low-grade copies trade for a few dollars above cover price, with a long plateau in the $48-$50 range across mid-to-high grades before a marked jump above 9.4, reflecting the general scarcity of pristine survivors from a lower-print, lower-demand stretch of the series. Demand is driven almost entirely by series completists assembling a run of Hal Jordan's original title rather than by character-specific or first-appearance collectors, which caps upside outside the top certified tiers.
This issue functions as a run-filler for Green Lantern collectors and Silver Age DC generalists rather than a headline acquisition. Lower and mid-grade raw copies see steady but unremarkable turnover, priced for shelf-filling rather than investment. High-grade certified copies, particularly anything approaching or exceeding the current census ceiling, command outsized premiums purely on condition rarity, making a well-preserved slab the primary value driver for this issue rather than any content-based key status.
