The Golden Age of superheroes is alive and well at DC Comics, where characters from as far back as 1939 continue to go on adventures and inspire hope in a new generation. Today, we take a look at the first appearance of Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern, in All-American Comics #16 published in 1940.

I met Mr. Nodell, working security at a Comicon event. He was with his daughter. I was ALWAYS a JSA fan, as a kid, and I told him so. I really liked his Green Lantern because he is left handed and so am I. The next day I was at his table and he gave me a personalized drawing of Green Lantern with a very sweet dedication. I didn't expect it and was, and still am, incredibly honored. His daughter told me how much it meant to him that a police officer was inspired by a character that he, himself, had created so long ago. She told me he was misty eyed when he was drawing it for me. It's framed and one of my most prized possessions. Mart Nodell was a wonderful human being. Thanks again Mr. Nodell and his daughter. God bless.
1:18 knowing the creative origin and inspiration behind the Golden Age Green Lantern it really makes you wonder why the Golden Age Red Lantern wasn’t a thing sooner.
The thing I really wish that the comics would explore more is the fact that Alan is supposed to be a Gotham hero. My absolute _favorite_ scene in Batman: Hush isn't the twists or Jason or the Superman fight or anything. It's Bruce and Tommy as children looking up at the sky in abject awe towards Alan Scott. I need this for Batman. I need to see Batman having _one_ superhero idol, one person that's what Batman saw as hope as a child. I want to see him bitter and blaming Alan for abandoning Gotham. For him to consider everything he has to deal with, in some small way, Alan Scott's fault. It's very Grey Ghost, I know, but not in the in-universe fiction way.
Grey Ghost was just a stand-in for the Shadow who trained Bruce
Excellent job Clyde. One of the best historical references I've ever seen on pooptube. Keep it up 👽😀😀💚
Great video! I love Alan Scott’s origin (mainly because of New 52). I think he would make a great protagonist for a movie too without needing to deal massive lore. It’s crazy how he was inspired by trains. Never knew that
As some others have mentioned, this origin is more fully fleshed out with a new retcon in Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #2. Looking forward to your review of that issue!
Billings actually showed up again in yesterday's issue! Very tragic.
Good stuff! Fascinating!
Thanks so much! I love these Golden Age Origins! I begged Mom & Dad for "The Great Comic Book Heroes" and loved the G. L. Origin! They could make a movie about the Golden Age Johnny Thunder. Say, you think they would do that?
W history lesson 🎉
Well if u want to see the connection between Alan and billings, go read Alan Scott The Green Lantern issue 2.
In all fairness, if I suddenly found myself in possession of a magic ring that let me fly by thinking really hard about it, I too would wonder if I could also do the first dumb thing that crossed my mind.
Good stuff.
Years ago I read that Green Lantern was inspired by Aladin and his Magic Lamp and Alan's last name was originally going to be Ladd but there was already a Hollywood actor named Alan Ladd so his name was changed to Alan Scott.
This is false. Marty had already shot that down in a couple of interviews he had done over the years
While I maybe mistaken about the Aladin inspiration over the years I have read some Alan Ladd references . In an issue of Infinity, Inc. I think Alan once said that he thought Alan Ladd was the actor who he felt should have played him if they ever filmed his adventures and in Alan Scott green Lantern #1 the last name of his first lover is Ladd. @@qtagamahyoutube178
Yea, they have added falsely to the GL lore by doing that, but oh well. DC does what DC wants
Finished reading the first issue of Sandman and the first two of GL (my favorite GL) and just started Jay Garrick Flash. Seems to be new twists of execution to go along with the change in subject matter. I think DC is missing one thing to go along with the new stuff added to the old. While GL is gay, Sandman is butting heads with the military-industrial complex, and Jay is experiencing a Twilight Zone experience, I think two things are needed. 1) Golden Age characters hiding non-white backgrounds and 2) actions and interests that connect with societal issues that happened between the Golden Age and today.
As The Grand Priest of The Temple of the Algorithm, I bless this video with a comment.

Imagine if you had a name like "comicstorian" but didn't cover stuff like this and did almost exclusively new comics...
