It's a Joe Staton designed costume. And yes, the idea that he's permanently brain damaged but everyone treats it like "Oh, that's just our Guy!" is really really creepy. Mind you, later writers have since toned down the severity of his attitude, so perhaps you could say his brain is recovering, but the original idea for the rehauled personality by Englehart/Staton was that Guy Gardner was broken goods. Broken in a manner that didn't leave him incapable of being a GL, but still severely broken.
It's like the reverse of the Black Canary incest origin, something that was meant as serious but was later written off and ignored.

Paul,
You got a real winner here. I love GL, and now that I've got Hal and you've got guy, someone MUST get John. Then Tomar, Katma, Kilowog, and of course...Sinestro! Keep the poses coming.

This is the best rendition of Guy Gardner I have seen.
Someone mentioned Gnort... LOL.

Sweet! The "Jerk Store's" all time best seller, and some people were foolish enough to think it was George Costanza.

There was something about the way Guy was portrayed back in the 1980s in Justice League International that made me crack up inside. Perhaps it was the "jerk" personality he had to complement the makeup of the team, which was quite a different setting from the relative straight-arrowedness of the classic JLA heroes. Seeing as that was post- "brain damage" Guy, I probably shouldn't find him so funny, but it seemed for me that he was being played for laughs in JLI.

Had no idea he was 'brain-damaged', I always just figured he was a twat. How odd.
