It's pretty easy to make a good drawing when the story demands people fly across space, punch entitities, and otherwise be cosmic. The people who took over when GL became a back up story in Flash magazine did pretty good, mostly mimicking Adams's style. Neal Adams did some great artwork, as he does what he typically does, challenge himself with big splash panels and covers, things blowing up and outburst of emotions.

Those stories are good, mostly in the use of serialization, giving you a crazy cliffhanger every month or so because you only have 8-10 pages of a full story each time. They cancelled the best part, the GL/GA magazine, after just 13 issues, he becomes a back-up story in Flash magazine. Arrow is, sometimes Hal Jordan even gets in touch with his emotions, it varies the flow to not make it feel like a generic issue to issue everything works out. The use a lot of misdirection to motivate the action.
The stories themselves are written well by Dennis "Denny" O'Neil. It doesn't make it a good story necessarily to have issues about race, or about the environment, or drug use, but they are a great way of challenging the emotional status quo for one of the most directly status quo heroes, Green Lantern with his directives from intergalactic bosses. I did really like the use of "modern day social issues" to drive a super hero team-up like Green Lantern and Green Arrow. One of the greatest comic book regular issue runs ever collected, it was pretty fantastic. Personal problems for heroes make better stories, as long as they are not overdone. For example, when he is transporting Green Arrow and Black Canary, he creates a flying sofa. One feature of the Green Lantern stories that I have always enjoyed and are a fundamental component of these stories is the devices he makes with his ring when he is fending off attacks from his opponents. Having heroes with flaws does make the stories stronger and more interesting, but once again it takes a lot of confidence and courage to be a hero and take on the type of villains that these heroes must fight. The once wealthy Oliver Queen has been reduced to a pauper and the two heroes whose names begin with “Green” are constantly bickering, again to the detriment of the stories. The opening stories have Green Lantern battling alongside Green Arrow and occasionally the Black Canary, the big-busted female hero that fights in boots with heels. After all, one must have great confidence if you are to protect the Earth from menaces of cosmic origin. At times, the flaws in Green Lantern’s persona are so prevalent that they interfere with the story.
His overseers have stripped him of some of his power, leading to struggles as he fights the villains that are as strong and ruthless as ever. Hal Jordan has lost his job and is down to his last couple hundred dollars.
