Product Description:
Alan Scott was the original ring-wielding super-hero known as the Green Lantern. A member of the Justice Society of America during the World War II era, the caped adventurer used his emerald weapon against an amazing assortment of domestic, international, and alien threats. In this beautiful volume of classic Green Lantern tales, Alan Scott exposes an auto-race fixing scheme, clears the son of a policeman framed for murder, discovers corruption in a city orphanage, takes down embezzling contractors, faces off against the city's most powerful gangster, and battles the evil genius of Professor Casper.

When I first started reading comic books, my only exposure to super-heros up to that point had been through other media, specifically the cartoon "The Super Friends". Imagine my surprise to learn that there was more than ONE of nearly every Super Friend in the comic books. Adding to my confusion was the fact that these counterparts lived on a parallel Earth, and that some, like Superman and Batman, were identical to the heroes I knew, but that others, like Flash and Green Lantern, were entirely ...

I have always made it a habit to tell people about the DC Archive Edition reprints of Golden Age comicbooks. They are a veritable MIRACLE! Without them, it would have been impossible for me to ever read comicbooks from the 1930s and 1940s. You see, time was when comicbooks were not dutifully collected and kept in Mylar bags like today. In fact, they were little more than "read-once-then-use-for-fish-wrappers". More than this, many of these Golden Age comics had very low print runs and were printed ... Read More

Artist Martin Nodell created the Golden Age Green Lantern after seeing a railway lantern one night. The stories in this volume are written by the very talented Bill Finger - the "O.

This volume includes the very first appearance of the Green Lantern, Alan Scott, in All-American Comics #16 (July 1940) as well as his early stories in that same title and in his own book Green Lantern #1. Includes the first appearance of Irene Miller and Doiby Dickles. See Alan flirt endlessly ... Read More

O.K., O.K. the storyline is a little, well, little. But when the original Lantern goes into action, this book comes alive and is pretty exciting. Even for 1st time readers.

It was wonderful to see the first stories ever to show the original Green Lantern. Gotta love that costume, particulary odd looking when he is trying to hide in the shadows with that gaudy delight of an outfit.
The art is primitive and generally unimaginative and the stories also show as little imagination, at the beginning at least. They do grow a little more imaginative in the portrayal of the use of his power (generally underused considering what he must have been capable of doing). ... Read More
