Bring on the Bad Guys: Dryg

 Real name: Dryg

First appearance: Green Lantern II#1 1/2 (July/Aug. 1960)

Abilities: Mental energy, being a giant  

Worst act: Attempted murder 

Quote: N/A

Created by: John Broome (script), Gil Kane (pencils), Murphy Anderson (inks)

So we see Hal in his own series, and it opens with a recap about his getting the power ring. We also see the Guardians of the Galaxy for the first time and they want to know if the deceased Abin Sur picked the right guy.

Very similar to the yarn in Showcase I#23, Hal is sent to a planet populated by yellow cavemen, who are being attacked by a brown giant. Since the giant isn't yellow, Hal has no issue luring him to the artic region of the planet and freezing him in a giant block of ice. 

Not bad, but more rehashing of what we've seen before, which was the style at the time so I can't get too worked up over that.
