Although several subsequent Green Lantern revival projects have started over the years, this remains the only series to date to spotlight the Alan Scott character. The series was cancelled with #38 (May–June 1949). A canine sidekick named Streak was introduced in #30 (February–March 1948) and the dog proved so popular that he became the featured character on several covers of the series starting with #34. Artist Alex Toth did some of his earliest comics work on the title beginning with issue #28 (October–November 1947). The first use of the Green Lantern oath was in issue #9 (late fall 1943). The Green Lantern character received his own self-titled series in fall 1941. Alan's first appearance was in the anthology series, All-American Comics #16 (July 1940).

The series featured Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern character, created by writer/artist Martin Nodell and writer Bill Finger. Volume 1 was published from 1941 until 1949, spanning a total of 38 issues. Publication history Volume 1 (1941–1949) After Rebirth's conclusion, writer Geoff Johns began a fourth volume of Green Lantern from 2005 to 2011, and a fifth volume which started immediately after, this time initially showcasing both Hal Jordan and Sinestro as Green Lantern. This third volume ended publication in 2004, when the miniseries Green Lantern: Rebirth brought Hal Jordan back as a heroic character and made him the protagonist once again. When sales began slipping in the early 1990s, DC Comics instituted a controversial editorial mandate that turned Jordan into the supervillain Parallax and created a new protagonist named Kyle Rayner. When the Silver Age Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, was introduced, the character starred in a new volume of Green Lantern starting in 1960.Īlthough Green Lantern is considered a mainstay in the DC Comics stable, the series has been cancelled and rebooted several times. After 38 issues, that series was cancelled in 1949. The character's first incarnation, Alan Scott, appeared in All-American Comics #16 (July 1940), and was later spun off into the first volume of Green Lantern in 1941.
