Publication history[edit | edit source]
The artist Seth Fisher notes that
“ | Willworld was conceived after I pitched a story idea with art samples to Joey Cavaleri at DC. We brainstormed and decided to use the art style as a starting point for a Hal Jordan story. I wanted a writer that would shrug off some of the spandex cliches that I was worried could limit my art, but still tackle the fantastic. I wanted it to be both surreal and yet grounded at the same time.[1] | ” |
Fisher has also said "We wanted a book where I could squeeze my imagination for everything it was worth and 'Green Lantern' just seemed to have the most potential that way."[2]
Writer J. M. DeMatteis described the story as 'Green Lantern meets Little Nemo in Quantum Wonderland. A playful, surreal, quantum physics fairytale.' [3]
The book has released as a hardcover in July 2004 (ISBN 1563897822)[4] and softcover in January 2004 (ISBN ).[5]
Plot[edit | edit source]
