MMM - I don't know how far you've read into the 60s series, but to me it peaked with issues #40 through #61.  After that Gil Kane left the title for about a year, and the fill-in artists (Jack Sparling, Mike Sekowsky IIRC) were less than stellar.  Then Kane returned, but with Broome doing less and less work, a lot of other writers were pitching in, and the series became very uneven.  There are a few gems to be found here and there (a 2-part story involving Sinestro and Star Sapphire comes to mind) ...
 

I concur with just about everything Osgood says here - including the prime issues - and would add that Green Lantern is my favorite comic of the 1960s (although much of Superman 1962-65 is very strong too, in my opinion, and I like all the Schwartz titles of this period). The fact that I am a huge fan of Gil Kane isn't the sole reason I love the book, I am also a great admirer of John Broome's writing, especially the outer space/SF stories; Gardner Fox is adequate, but nowhere near as good in my opinion.

It occurs to me that when the live-action Green Lantern movie is released DC may possibly go back to press on GL Archives Vol. 3?
