New 52 Alan Scott - My ThoughtsThe primary reason why I did not care for this Green Lantern is the artwork in general; I consider it an overkill of green. The stories are good but the art of Alan Scott's Green Lantern made me sad because of the lack of a true secondary color or two. That's why I like the original costume better than this junk instead. I consider Alan Scott costume a junk costume because of the lack of secondary colors or contrasting colors to make it unique and adds flair to it. I agree with you about New 52 Alan Scott. There should have been some contrasting colors instead of all green. Plus I think a cape would have helped. IMO the new 52 Earth 2 started out great but went off the rails when it changed to feature Superman & Batman at the expense of the other characters. I liked it when Alan & Jay were the stars at first & Superman, Batman & WW only appeared in flashbacks. |

Zero Hour Alan Scott's Costume  I felt that this costume was very sleek, bold, and creative use of the striking Green and Red that was incorporated in this costume that I felt it was very modern and very imaginative too. To me, it is one of the better changes that occurred in the mid 90's I believe and I felt that this costume was excellent and I was very surprised to see a two-tone green cape that really makes the costume pops and it's one of my favorites at the time when Zero Hour appeared on scene. Zero Hour is one of those rare titles at the time that I read comics from DC Comics and I felt that this concept of Alan Scott's costume was right on the money and I really fell in love with it. That's my take on this costume. It's not as good as the original, but it's a dandy of a design and I learn to like it more when I've started reading more of Zero Hour. I give this costume a Solid B.

Alan Scott's Sentinel Costume  This costume is much better than the Zero Hour and I felt that this change was considered one of the best changes being done at the time when Alan Scott's became Sentinel and that forces me to accept this name change and costume change because of the emergence of John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, and Guy Gardner being one of many members of the Green Lanterns and that alone made him more unique than ever before and later on the Green Lantern Corps of which helped re-established Alan Scott's legacy in a whole new perspective and change that I felt it was noteworthy indeed. I love the star insignia of the two tone green that being surrounded in red to give it pop and an unique perspective on the design of the costume that I really like this one better than Zero Hour. Another change the green and they made it more Emerald than ever before that a big welcome change in effect that made Sentinel a more bolder hero than one in Zero Hour and still can't not topple the original design of which I consider the purple/green cape is too good to pass up. It was a magnificent costume consider that they wanted to make him even more dynamic and more bolder and that alone was the winner of this change and I do like the mask that they design as well. Of all the costumes that Alan Scott wore during the Golden Age to the later part of the Bronze Age I believe the costumes of ALAN SCOTT greatly influenced me of how well I love this character despite of an absence of a Rouge Gallery and this costume as Sentinel is a Grade A- and that's about high I can go on it.

Top Three Alan (Original Costume) Scott Artists1st Place - Martin Nordell  You just can't beat the original artist that drew him. 2nd Place - Ramona Fradon I've always admire her artwork for all it's worth! 3rd Place - George Perez I was surprised to see him drew him once and he does a great job with him.

My favourite Alan Scott artist was Jerry Ordway, especially on All-Star Squadron #20.  |

My favourite Alan Scott artist was Jerry Ordway, especially on All-Star Squadron #20. I totally forgot about him and I should had thought about the great covers of ALL-STAR SQUADRON. Thanks for sharing that. |

Alan Scott's Battery, Oath, and RingBattery of Power - Source of Green Flame "The Starheart" ... an orb that he fashioned out of and crafted a ring as well. Alan Scott was a train engineer and that flame instructed him to create it. It has a wonderful history and I strongly suggest that you all read the link that I shared here and it's has a fascinating history.  More of that is found here. Alan Scott The Ring of Alan Scott I find that Alan Scott is more unique and better looking than Hal Jordan's ring and I felt it was more an original and it's one of the coolest thing ever. Battery of Power and his Oath My favorite panel from All-American #18  One of my favorite covers showcasing Alan Scott as Green Lantern!
"And I shall shed my light over dark evil,
For the dark things cannot stand the light;
The light of...THE GREEN LANTERN!"Pure and Simple and yet so respectful and might!

It doesn't say McFarlane designed it. It only says McFarlane made capes popular again... |

It doesn't say McFarlane designed it. It only says McFarlane made capes popular again... I understand that and I wished there were a database that has all that information and that would be very helpful to have. For the RecordI got one more thing to share on Alan Scott and I have a busy day tomorrow - I have a water polo match, lunch with a dear friend of mine, and I'll be sharing one more thing that bothers me for years and I just don't have any understanding of why they did this and I was hoping that someone here can help me out. I will be beating around the bush here and give you all a heads up of this matter and hopefully we can spend a day or two discussing it. I would like this to end around Friday and move on to number 10. I will get this started late Wednesday Night and proceed from there. It will be a nice little discussion and I hope it will help me understand why DC Comics did this. |

Alan Scott Green Lantern / Molly Maynne Harlequin
Romance and Marriage Background InformationMy only sources of Alan (Green Lantern) Scott in my early days of Comic Book Reading is from ALL-STAR COMICS, ADVENTURE COMICS, and ALL-STAR SQUADRON. Let's remind you all that I did not read much of his adventures in ADVENTURE COMICS because I did not get much of that in the 60's and onward to the 90's and that's the facts behind that. Most of my fixture of Alan Scott is from the early days of the Justice Society of America and his continued journeys in All-Star Squadron of which I believe was just as excellent in the early days of the JSA. Because he had a magazine - Adventure Comics of which he was the primary hero and in my own area - I wasn't exposed that much of him and having said that I was very disappointed not having a favorite adventure until in the early 2000's of which I managed read a reprint of Adventure Comics #92 of which he tangled with the Icicle of which my memory has very little use of. I just can't pick out any stories from JSA and All-Star because those adventures he was part of a greater good / team and that's not right way to go about it. So, with that being said ... I wanted to spend the rest of this week to discuss why in the world (I have no knowledge of this) that Alan Scott having a romance with Molly Maynne a member of the Injustice Society of which I gathered of reading adventures in the JSA and All-Star Squadron. It's baffled me from day I started in early 70's and I've never gotten an answer that I like talking to friends at my Local Comics Book Store.   Harlequin has a cool car to begin with ...

Green Lantern / Harlequin The Best Costume of the Golden Age of Comics meets and romances the worst costume of the Golden Age of Comics!  To be honest to all of you here ... I never, really cared for her costume at all because it's hideous in my own two eyes! Special Thanks for chaykinstevens in finding a cool cover showcasing Alan Scott's Costume. chaykinstevens
