My favourite bits with Hal are where, with his super-powered ring that has made him no less than a fucking demigod, he still decides to attack goons hand to hand.

You can summon any weapon or defense you can imagine from a safe distance, but...nah. Go at them swinging your meaty, breakable fists, and put your severely damaged skull right in their path.

Fuck yellow, Hal's weakness is Hal. And being tackled by a two or three fairly willowy looking mobsters who proceed to beat him stupid (which has happened way too many times).

One of the first comics I ever read was this old 80's DC Christmas special in a barber shop as a kid. All the DC Heroes got captured and had to escape some Christmas-y deathtraps. It featured John Stewart teaming up for the first time with the JLA.

Because when Hal got the emergency call to help, he slipped on a bar of soap and knocked himself out.

>One comic takes place during Leap Year, when women are expected to propose to men (an old tradition I had personally never heard of). To keep Carol from asking him, Hal uses his ring to create a giant monster he has to fight. Unfortunately, after creating it, Hal gets hit in the head by a model airplane and knocked out. (This begins a long tradition of Hal getting smacked in the head and knocked out by almost every object in existence.) The monster, rather than disappear, winds up rampaging through Coast City, although more in confusion than malice. It ultimately heads toward an atomic pile, where it could cause a devastating explosion. In the nick of time, Green Lantern shows up to dissolve the creature into goo and save the day. He receives honors from the mayor for this deed

Good job Hal. A real fucking hero.

Hal has almost been undone by a billboard and a newspaper. Nothing magic or supernatural or super-sciency about them. I shit not, these things almost got him killed.

I have always loved how Hal's most famous and character defining series was Green Lantern/Green Arrow , where Green arrow would yell at Hal for blindly following whatever people in authority would say causing Hal to basically blindly follow whatever Green Arrow had just said...

Plus this cover makes him look like such an asshole...

The ring originally wanted Guy Gardner, but Hal was the closest to it so it just went with him.

Later Hal found out that the ring wanted someone else originally so he went to meet him, they became friends, Hal accidentally knocked Guy into a coma, slept with his girl-friend, and that's how Guy got brain damage which is still canon.

Before the coma he was actually a pretty mellow guy, but since he was in the coma so long he wasn't exactly himself when he came out, and ever since then he's been a little quicker to anger.

In the "War of the Green Lanterns" event Guy reminded of all the stupid shit Hal had ever done to him and they fought, but at the time they were both being slightly influenced by Parallax.

So they broke the fight off to pursue their mission.
>>
>>39365386
>>39365444

Oh, and they also fought when Hal went all Parallax on everyone. Guy Gardner receives a vision of what Hal was doing to the corps, and then went with Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Captain Atom, Alan Scott and some other to stop him. Hal tried to kill him and then destroyed the prototypical yellow ring Guy used to have.

>Hal ended up accepting that Guy was the only Green Lantern who could do the job as it was supposed to be done AND also had a good life compared to the others.

Actually not true. He just tried to make amends because he was feeling really shitty about the stupid things he had done in life. I'm talking about Green Lantern: Rebirth here.

And John Stewart was a great Green Lantern. Sure, he blew Xanshi thanks to his over-confidence, but that event changed the character completely. He practically became a monk and tried to make things better, like with Mosaic World, which granted him Guardian status thanks to his efforts and accomplishments, before Hal decided to go all Parallax destroying the corps, robbing John of his newfound powers and his resurrected wife, thus ending Mosaic.

Hal kept threating Guy as a chump, though, but not at the same intensity as he used to do.

Yeah, Parralax was rather in character for him

He didn't know when to quit, when to stop trying to control everything in the end and give up sometimes, he was so willful that he was willing to kill everyone and go to absurd lengths to put everything back to the way it was and make go back to the way things were.

After he crossed the line with Kilowog he could no longer turn back, he had sacrificed too much to simply give up anymore.

Parralax was the down side of willpower, not knowing when to quit even when it's sometimes the more appropriate choice.

'Pieface' was never recorded as a slur for eskimos until the mid-60s, after Pieface was already a character (he'd been introduced in 1960). Pieface was an insult, but it meant a person who had Down syndrome, because of the commonality of flatter faces/noses (like they were smashed 'with a pie pan'; a pie-face). The Eskimo Pie connection was made later (it was in like 65 or so, when an author made a joke about Eskimo people being 'piefaced' then cracked that it's why they make 'Eskimo pie', which is retarded, but it's the first time the two were connected).

I have this issue! Some crook was just released from prison and had 'built up his willpower' before release. Thus he somehow now had the ability to siphon power from Hal's ring and use it himself.

He was also able to wrest control of it from him in battle.

n Ungara, the news of Abin Sur's death fragmented their society. Civil war led to the creation of the plasma satellite, a weapon meant to rain havoc over the enemy states. One side tried to defuse the satellite, but instead detonated it. Ungara was thrown off its axis by less than one hundreth of a degree. More than one hundred million Ungarans perished in the resulting quakes. The Ungarans sent out a military expedition to Earth to seize Hal Jordan's aid. Forcing the Green Lantern did not work, he had problems on Earth and did not know of the Ungarans' plight. Jordan was later ordered by the Guardians to assist the people of Abin Sur's homeworld. He was unable to move the planet back to its original orbit. Tidal waves drowned three of Ungara's continents, with no survivors. Jordan then tried breaking the ice and utilizing molten lava. These plans also failed. Covered in ice, finally, the planet settled into its new orbit.

The arrival and subsequent action of Arisia of Graxos IV is credited for returning Ungara to a habitable state. The Arisia, along with Hal Jordan, polished a crystalline moon to act as a lens to focus the Ungaran sun. Now the world would be in a perpetual spring.

Did serious comics even exist in this era?


Even Batman was bumshit crazy wacky cockland.
>>
>>39393857
The Comic Code Authority quite nearly prohibits serious stories.

This is the comic industry under censorship. It was a bright, harmless, campy and often mindless hell.
>>
>>39393857
Well, I hope this isn't going to start a Marvel Vs DC turf war, but there's a reason why stuff like Fantastic Four and Spider-Man turned Marvel into the more successful publisher.
DCs silver age stuff is pretty much mostly the exact same shit as in the golden age, just with slightly better art, less Nazi punching, and less death by Batman.
60s Spider-Man may look goofy today, but if you look at Flash or Green Lantern, it's easy to see why it's regrded as such an important development that Stan Lee did at least KINDA try to have a few characters act like actual people sometimes.

Nope. Silver Age Superman may not throw around corrupt businessmen like very early Golden Age Superman did, but he's more well-developed in comparison.
