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".

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
