Synopsis for "The Diabolical Missile From Qward!"

In order to destroy the Green Lantern, the Qwardians of the Antimater Universe have built an intelligent robot named Gnaxos, which is "perfect" because it has no knowledge of what is good. In order to get Green Lantern into their universe to battle the robot, they send a missile to Earth which irradiates Pieface with a radiation that slowly reduces his heart rate. Escaping the missle, Green Lantern forces it to crash into a barn (as his power ring cannot effect it's yellow paint job) and learns that it came from the Qward.
Traveling there the Qwardians force Green Lantern to battle Gnaxos in an arena for the cure for Pieface's condition. During the fight, Green Lantern teaches the robot the differences of good and evil. Having a change of heart, the robot gives Green Lantern the cure, but is destroyed by the Qwardians for his tretchery. Green Lantern washes them away with a power ring created tidal wave and makes his escape. Returning to the postiive mater universe, he administers the cure to Pieface, saving his life.

Synopsis for "The Secret of Green Lantern's Mask!"

Carol Ferris is throwing a party where she promises an appearance by the Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, deciding to see who Carol favors most: Himself, or his costumed alter ego, arrives at the party with a note from "Green Lantern" canceling his invitation so that he can stay as himself. However, when one of the waiters for the party puts on a Green Lantern costume in a plot to rob all the party goers of their valuables with a fake Green Lantern ring, Hal leaves the party (leaving a note pretending to be jealous) just in case. When the waiter allows them to unmask him, he further gainst their trust and promises to make their valuables orbit around the moon before being returned to the party. However before "Green Lantern" Can proform this feat the lights go out and the waiters steal all the loot and make a run for it.
The real Green Lantern however chases after them and quickly captures them, returning to the party with the stolen goods. When Carol has Green Lantern alone, she tries to take off his mask, but finds it cannot be removed. Green Lantern explains that his mask has been treated by his power ring to be unremovable except for by the Green Lantern himself.
