Artist David Nakayama Gives Mullein a Well-Deserved Costume Update in Variant Cover forGreen Lantern#18
Nakayama’s variant cover features Jo in a neon green latex jumpsuit that undeniably pays homage to the wild and iconic fashion of the ’70s,but with a modern twist.The jumpsuit boasts skin-tight material and an exaggeratedly flared collar, perfectly complemented by Jo’s signature construct eyewear, shiny green eyeshadow, white go-go boots, and matching half gloves. This look captures the essence of the typical disco aesthetic of the 1970s. However, it also incorporates modern design elements, such as the bustier-esque top and the asymmetrical pants, with one leg cutting off at mid-thigh while the other remains full-length.
This design is undoubtedly one of Jo’s most daring and bold looks, making it an exceptional costume challenge for cosplayers willing to step away from thetraditional Green Lantern uniform. What adds to the appeal is that it essentially serves as two costumes in one—a ’70s disco ensemble and a Green Lantern outfit—resulting in something truly unique that will turn heads at any comic convention or on the streets during Halloween.The Green Lantern-meets-disco concept could also be adapted for other characters, allowing fans to choose their favorite Corps member to bring this striking look to life.

David Nakayama’s Design Needs to Live Beyond the Variant Cover
Jo Mullein is arguably one of DC’s most underrated Green Lanterns, often overshadowed by Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and Guy Gardner. A bold redesign is precisely what Jo needs to regain her place in the spotlight. Currently, Nakayama’s redesign appears to be limited to his variant cover, but incorporating this look into mainstream continuity and ongoing narratives could revitalize the character in the eyes of fans and spark new interest among readers. Therefore, DC should seriously consider making Nakayama’s redesign ofGreen LanternJo Mullein a more permanent and lasting addition.
