Tracked this one down after seeing it for many years. Green Lantern 100, cover-date Jan. 1978. Great cover by Mike Grell. Four superheroes standing on a rock with an anniversary logo in front of a cosmic swirl! Take my 60 cents! Always thought it was going to be one big story with all four heroes on the cover, but turns out to be two separate stories.
First is Green Lantern meeting the new Air Wave by Denny O'Neil with art by Alex Saviuk and Vince Colletta. Well-done superheroics. Colletta's inks don't overpower Saviuk's well-done pencil work. The original Air Wave ran in Detective from 1942-48. That character's secret identity was Larry Jordan, so O'Neil spins it to make the new AW his son - conveniently named Hal, just like GL Hal Jordan. A goofy Bronze Age twist. Also great that new villain Master-Tek looks like a blonde Tom Selleck. Ah, the 70s...
Second story isn't quite as good as the first, but OK. Green Arrow and Black Canary battle corporate corruption - surprise! - aided by an injured Roy Harper, who never dons his Speedy togs. We do however get to see Roy playing drums for a rock band called Great Frog. The 70s! This also is the issue where Oliver Queen decides to run for mayor of Star City.
Air Wave would go on to make several appearances as a backup in Action Comics. I always thought DC could have done more with the character and his electronic/radio powers. The GL/GA format would last for about 20 more issues. All in all, this is a solid comic with a lot to remind readers of what they liked about Bronze Age DC...
