Hi Everyone...thank you for all the thumbs up (thumbs u and your patience. Enjoy!
Wonderful book! (thumbs u
GL's origin is by far, my favorite of the Silver Age. This story has everything...a fearless jet pilot, his pretty lady boss, and the incredible Abin Sur...glactic policeman of Sector 2814...
It's such a pleasure to see a clean copy (no offense to everyone else in the club!). Congratulations.
I agree that GL's origin is a great one. Very creative.
A few days ago I reread 22 and 23, and what struck me most was how much emphasis there was on the romantic tension between Hal and Carol. There's the storyline of Carol refusing to date Hal because she suddenly becomes his boss, but there's also the storyline that she starts falling for Green Lantern. The romance really dominates the stories.
Another note: there's a great scene in 22 where GL bursts in on some bad guys and they react by saying "It's not a not a bird, it's not a plane, and it's sure not Superman!" Very unusual for DC to show that kind of humor.
That the genius of author John Broome -- master science fiction writer. If you like those early GL stories, you have got to check out some of Mr Broome's stuff in 50s titles like STRANGE ADVENTURES and MYSTERY IN SPACE...you wont be disappointed!
