Gil Kane's legacy will live forever.
Gil Kane was very under appreciated artists for me until recently, I started to see all his work in the past and was amazed by his body of work, he did so many classic covers for Marvel and DC. This was a true hard working penciler.
Hello friend & Happy belated Earth Day 😎🙏
Breen brings up a very important point... how many layers of clothes DO superheroes tend to wear?
Wes you legit are my new favorite person
Thanks Adam 👊
I admire the way GK drew Hal (and others) flying, he always added the flowing toft of hair that added the sense of movement Joe highlights .
That panel of Hal Jordans ring stuck in the lantern is great.
Thanks for this post. These "retro" stories are eleventy billion times better than what is being put out today. It's called imagination, instead of their minute view point.
I was thinking that a Guy Gardner, Green Arrow book would be fun.
Oh sweet 😱
Love these Silver Age Classic videos
I have the whole silver age in digital, reading volume 2 currently, i love it, the constructs are always so fun
All right!
I bought the first 5 Green Lantern Archive books and totally liked it
Unfortunetly just 15 Silver Age issues of GL was published here in Brazil.Most of Green Lantern,Wonder Woman and Flash Silver/Bronze Age Era remains unpublished here until today.I would love that more Silver Age DC stuff was realised here how Silver Age Marvel books.
You can’t even get a lot of the GL silver age comics on dc unlimited. Personally I didn’t think they were that good.
Sounds like a fun comic.
John Broome did a great job fleshing out the Jordan family with Hal's two brothers and spouses who appeared every so often, plus his Uncle Titus, but it wasn't until the 70s, that Hal's nephew, also named Hal Jordan, became a teen hero in his own right as Air Wave. The younger Hal went on to appear in backup stories in Action Comics alternating month-to-month with the Atom. The Jordan family was a big deal at DC pre-Crisis.
They were until DC killed them all and Geoff Johns ignored them during his run
@@zemox2534 Why? DC shouldn't the good Things destroy.😒
@@zemox2534 well Geoff Johns didn’t ignore them, they were constantly brought up and he still had a brother who had a wife and kids who were constantly in the series.
First I want to apologise for my rude comments during the live stream. That was uncalled for and I am sorry.
Great retrospective as usual. Sinestro has come a long way since the Silver age. As much as I complain about Geoff John's writing, I really liked his work on Sinestro. Geoff made Thaal more layered and Nuanced.
Gil Kane was a great comic artist. His alien designs were very memorable and suited the tone of the Silver age GL comic.
It's all good Zemo. Glad you enjoyed the GL retro!
Actually Sinestro was growing as character even before Johns wrote him. In the silver age, unlike other GL rogues, despite being a bit generic, Sinestro had things that made him interest, like the fact he used to be a member of the GL Corps and even a reason to become evil, as he explains to Hal in their encounter, "being good prevents Hal from doing what's necessary". Then the post crisis universe gave him a upgrade, by making Sinestro Hal's mentor and also made him more unstable and delusional with his quest of keeping order in the universe.
Johns just took this concepts and develop them even futher, by establishing Sinestro as the best lantern in the corp and also making him and Jordan friends before his betrayal, making their rivalry even more tragic.
@@alexandrefrauches132 I liked the fact he was originally a GL that abused his power but I really enjoyed how they changed his origin and made him Hal’s Mentor post crisis. Even better was when Geoff Johns made him more of a grey character who was capable of Good. Johns does such a good job of giving different layers to villains and making them human.
@@fishin4bass2002 That's what I like about Johns as write. While he has his flaws, he is a comic book fan, specially from the silver and bronze age and know how to bring back this classic concepts and give them a upgrade and expand their mythology. His runs on the JSA, GL and Superman are clear proof of that.
@@alexandrefrauches132 he knows continuity and he has spent most of his career fixing all the problems DC makes, only for them to continue repeating them. His brightest day story arc was basically fixing lots of problems Dc made over the past few years before.

Keep on making awesome content 👍
I'm trying!!! 👊
Love these retro videos, so well done, full of knowledge and all sort of goodness. Keep them coming!
Hulk coming next week! 💪
Yet again, another great video dude!
Since finding your channel, I've come to respect your opinion and views on all things comics, but this is the first retrospective I've seen, and it's nice to go back to the 'good old days', when comics were fun, thought provoking, and interesting, as opposed to the dull, preachy, and dour crap that's being churned out in the last few years.
Keep 'em coming...!
🙂

I've got a playlist with about 50 of these videos. The older ones are longer because we covered entire story arcs.
Ah!
Many thanks for the heads up- I've found the section on your page, and look forward to viewing them!
Length is no object (I'm not a woman after all...), as 'longer' equates to 'more in depth', something I relish, as I'll be familiar with some of them, but not all, and enjoy learning more about the ones I aren't clued up on.
You just made the top of my Christmas card list!!
😆

Green Lantern before the other lantern corps feels so empty
I see Wes has jokes. No Guy Gardner is the best Green Lantern and would kick Hal’s Ass!
Hal has laid the smack down on Guy multiple times.
@@Wes_From_TC only because Guy was feeling sorry for Hal and didn’t want him to turn into parallax again so he let him so he could lay off steam.😅
@@fishin4bass2002 I'm pretty sure I eviscerated Wes after his False Claim that Hal can kick Guy's Ass but he edited me out . And don't think I won't bring this up when it's time to renew my Contract 😁
DC could save itself with cheap reprint books. Tons of history tons of stories just waiting for new readers.
HULK SMASH!!!
I would like to see an evil version of the Green Lantern Corps. that come from the anti-matter universe of Earth-3, which is the dark, mirror universe of the Crime Syndicate of Amerika. They could show an evil extradimensional doppelganger of Hal Jordan as the Yellow Power Ring who was given his Power Ring and Energy Battery from the Weaponers from the Planet Qward, who are the evil versions of the Guardians of the Universe from the Planet Oa. Power Ring then teams up with the Yellow Lantern Corps. and they have evil versions of the Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott, John Stewart, Jade, Arisia, G'nort and Kilowog, all join forces to try to kill their super-hero arch-enemies on the Planet Earth, specifically the good versions of Sinestro, Guy Gardner, Goldface, Sonar, Kanjar Ro, Manga Khan, Mister Nebula and the Scarlet Skier.
It would be interesting to see how that plays out. How do they fight against an evil version of the Green Lantern Corps.? What would they be? A good version of the Sinestro Corps.? With Green Energy similar to the good Green Lanterns? What are the requirements for being a Yellow Power Ring? Instead of being totally honest and totally fearless, you must be totally dishonest and totally into making other people fearful? It would make for a good experiment.
That would be a interest idea, although I think would be more cool if Earth 3 Sinestro was part of the YL Corp alongside Hal and in this version he betrays them after realizing their crimes and this result in him being banish to the main universe, being rescue by the Guardians, who could give him the ring that once belong to his counterpart and help him make a GL corp in Earth 3 to defeat the YL corps and act as symbol of hope in that dark twisted universe
Personally, what would like to see is a story where Hal and Sinestro switch rings, with Hal using the yellow ring of fear while Sinestro recover his green ring of will. As the two use the rings powers they start to experience and see the world around them through the other perspective. Despite not liking to use fear as weapon, Hal start to notice that it truly can be a very powerful and useful weapon, with him becoming tempt to become like his enemy, while Sinestro, as he uses the green ring, he reminds of the time he had in the Corps, expressing a bit of regret for things end up and maybe considering reform and rejoin the corp. Whatever happens to Hal and Sinestro in the end, this story could end with the two having a much better understanting of each other.
