Set against the turbulent backdrop of the early 1970s, Green Lantern and Huckleberry Hound join forces to take a stand on the issues of that era. Returning from recent duty in Vietnam, veteran Marine John Stewart—now a member of the Green Lantern Corps—contemplates what, if anything, he should do about the issues tearing his country apart. Meanwhile, Huckleberry’s comments against the Vietnam war have left him a celebrity outcast, and a visit back home to Mississippi puts him face to face with the Civil Rights Movement. What can one man—and one hound—do?

This might be an interesting throwback to the GL/GA era....if it didn't have Huckleberry Hound. I just don't get the point of including Hanna-Barbera characters that are so drastically "reinvented" that they are essentially unrecognizable.

Ditto. I love militant John, but Huckleberry was never one of my favorite HB characters and that isn't even him anyway.
