Why did Abin Sur have a spaceship again? Can someone remind me, please?
Cause he was an alien, man! :wink:
No, I think in one of the GLC annuals, Alan Moore established that Abin Sur's ring told him he'd die on a mission, so to cover his bases, he created the ship as extra protection. But in the end, somehow, the very fact that he was in the ship was what led to his death. One of those Twilight Zone twists, you know.
Wish I could remember the details. I'll see if I can dig out that issue, if no one else remembers it.
For the record, those annuals were great! Especially the Alan Moore stuff...he came up with the coolest ideas. Like the story about the GL from a race of creatures who were all blind (and thus unable to comprehend the concept of "green" or "lantern"!). He ended up using the ring as a sound-based weapon and became something like the "Green Bell." Fun stuff!
