Synopsis:
Hal Jordan takes a job in the Northwest as an insurance adjuster. On one of his first assignments, Hal is sent to the site of a meteor strike. There, Hal discovers a giant alien named Thotan sucking up the Earth's oxygen to take back to his own world. Green Lantern battle the alien who has immunized himself against Hal's power ring. Hal is briefly trapped inside Thotan's body, but manages to escape. Hal eventually defeats the alien by enlarging himself to giant size with his power ring and defeating the alien hand-to-hand.
