Green Lantern is an ongoingAmerican comic-book series featuring theDC Comics heroes of thesame name. The character's first incarnation,Alan Scott, appeared inAll-American Comics #16 (July 1940), and was later spun off into the first volume ofGreen Lantern in 1941. After 38 issues, that series was cancelled in 1949. When the Silver Age Green Lantern,Hal Jordan, was introduced, the character starred in a new volume ofGreen Lantern starting in 1960.
AlthoughGreen Lantern is considered a mainstay in the DC Comics stable, the series has been cancelled and rebooted several times. When sales began slipping in the early 1990s, DC Comics instituted a controversial editorial mandate that turned Jordan into the supervillainParallax and created a new protagonist namedKyle Rayner. This third volume ended publication in 2004, when the miniseriesGreen Lantern: Rebirth brought Hal Jordan back as a heroic character and made him the protagonist once again. AfterRebirth's conclusion, writerGeoff Johns began a fourth volume ofGreen Lantern from 2005 to 2011, and a fifth volume which started immediately after, this time initially showcasing both Hal Jordan andSinestro as Green Lantern.
Volume 1 was published from 1941 until 1949, spanning a total of 38 issues.[2] The series featuredAlan Scott, the first Green Lantern character, created by writer/artistMartin Nodell and writerBill Finger. Alan's first appearance was in the anthology series,All-American Comics #16 (July 1940).[3] The Green Lantern character received his own self-titled series in fall 1941.[4] The first use of theGreen Lantern oath was in issue #9 (late fall 1943).[5] ArtistAlex Toth did some of his earliest comics work on the title beginning with issue #28 (October–November 1947).[6] 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.[7] The series was cancelled with #38 (May–June 1949).[8] Although several subsequentGreen Lantern revival projects have started over the years, this remains the only series to date to spotlight the Alan Scott character.
TheSilver Age Green Lantern was created byJohn Broome andGil Kane inShowcase #22 (October 1959)[9] at the behest of editorJulius Schwartz.[10] Volume 2 ofGreen Lantern began publication in August 1960.[11] The series spotlighted the Silver Age Green Lantern, Hal Jordan and introduced the expansive mythology surrounding Hal's forebears in theGreen Lantern Corps. The supervillainSinestro was introduced in #7 (July–August 1961).[12] In 2009, Sinestro was rankedIGN's 15th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.[13] Hal Jordan's love interest,Carol Ferris, became theStar Sapphire in issue #16.[14]Black Hand, a character featured prominently in the "Blackest Night" storyline in 2009–2010, debuted in issue #29 (June 1964).[15] A substitute Green Lantern,Guy Gardner first appeared in the story "Earth's Other Green Lantern!" in issue #59 (March 1968).[16]
Green Arrow joined Hal Jordan in the main feature of the title in an acclaimed series of stories by writerDennis O'Neil and artistNeal Adams beginning with issue #76 (April 1970) and ending with issue #89 (April–May 1972) that dealt with various social and political issues in which Green Arrow spoke for radical change while Green Lantern was an establishment liberal figure,[17] wanting to work within existing institutions of government and law. Where Oliver Queen advocated direct action, Hal Jordan wanted to work within the system; where Oliver advocated social change, Jordan was more concerned about dealing with criminals. Each would find their beliefs challenged by the other. Oliver convinced Jordan to see beyond his strict obedience to theGreen Lantern Corps, to help those who were neglected or discriminated against. As O'Neil explained: "He would be a hot-temperedanarchist to contrast with the cerebral, sedate model citizen who was the Green Lantern."[18] The duo embarked on a quest to find America, witnessing the problems of corruption, racism, pollution, and overpopulation confronting the nation. O'Neil took on then-current events, such as theManson Family cult murders, in issue #78 whereBlack Canary falls briefly under the spell of a false prophet who advocates violence.[19]
During this period, the most famous Green Arrow story appeared, inGreen Lantern vol. 2, #85–86, when Green Arrow's wardSpeedy was revealed to be addicted toheroin.[20][21] In his zeal to save America, Oliver Queen had failed in his personal responsibility to Speedy — who would overcome his addiction with the help ofBlack Canary, Green Arrow's then-love interest. This story prompted a congratulatory letter from themayor of New York City,John Lindsay. Another backup Green Lantern,John Stewart, was introduced in #87.[22] Unfortunately, the series did not match commercial expectations and Neal Adams had trouble with deadlines, causing issue #88 to be an unscheduled reprint issue; the series was cancelled with issue #89 (April–May 1972). Four months later, Green Lantern began a backup feature inThe Flash #217 (Aug.–Sept. 1972) and appeared in most issues throughThe Flash #246 (Jan. 1977) until his own solo series was revived.[23]
TheGreen Lantern title returned with issue #90 (Aug.–Sept. 1976)[24][25] and continued theGreen Lantern/Green Arrow team format. O'Neil continued to write the stories, which were drawn by artists such as Mike Grell and Alex Saviuk, while muting the social and political themes that had characterized the stories that had been drawn by Neal Adams. Julius Schwartz, who had edited the title for most of its run since 1960, left the series as of issue #103 (April 1978).[26] In issue #123 (December 1979), Hal Jordan resumed the title spotlight and Green Arrow left the series.[27] On the advice of artistJoe Staton, editorJack C. Harris gave British artistBrian Bolland his first assignment for a U.S. comics publisher, the cover forGreen Lantern #127 (April 1980).[28] WriterMarv Wolfman and Staton created theOmega Men inGreen Lantern #141 (June 1981).[29]
In issue #182, writerLen Wein and artistDave Gibbons made architect John Stewart, who had been introduced previously in issue #87, the title's primary character.[30] Following the double-sized 200th issue by writerSteve Englehart and Joe Staton,[31] the format changed again, this time altering the title's name toGreen Lantern Corps[32] and focusing upon the seven members of an Earth-based contingent of the corps (including Jordan and Stewart). The series remained as such until its cancellation in 1988 with issue #224. Between volumes 2 and 3, Green Lantern stories, mostly featuring Hal Jordan, appeared inAction Comics Weekly.

Volume 3 began in 1990 and featured Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps in stories byGerard Jones andPat Broderick.[33] By the mid-1990s, sales on the book began to fall and an editorial mandate was handed down by DC Comics to drastically change the status quo to revitalize the title and characters. This was given in the form of the controversial storyline "Emerald Twilight".[34]
"Emerald Twilight" detailed that in the aftermath of the destruction of Hal Jordan's hometownCoast City (which occurred as part of "The Death of Superman" storyline), Jordan was shown going mad with grief by trying to use his power to resurrect the city and its inhabitants. TheGuardians of the Universe found fault with Jordan and stated their intent to strip him of his ring. Jordan responded angrily, and sought not only the destruction of the Guardians, but also the Green Lantern Corps itself. He killed countless Green Lanterns in his rampage through the universe toOa, seemingly killed his arch enemy Sinestro, killed the Guardians and took the power of Oa's Central Power Battery for himself. Gaining unimaginable power over space and time, Jordan became the supervillain Parallax and, with that, became the leading antagonist going into DC's 1994 eventZero Hour: Crisis in Time.
After this,Kyle Rayner, a young art student, was introduced as the new protagonist and the "last" Green Lantern, since the Corps no longer existed.[35] WritersRon Marz andJudd Winick both had long runs with the character, building Kyle's popularity so much that he was included in the lineup ofGrant Morrison'sJustice League relaunchJLA, and slowly reintroduced more familiar Green Lantern aspects over the 10 years Rayner had in the title. Volume 3 culminated in a revival of the Guardians of the Universe, the introduction ofIon, and Kyle taking a journey into space that led directly into the miniseriesGreen Lantern: Rebirth.
After the events ofRebirth, in which writerGeoff Johns revealed Parallax to be a parasitic embodiment of fear rather than as an identity of Hal Jordan,[36] a fourth volume ofGreen Lantern began publication returning Hal Jordan to the prominent Green Lantern in theDC Universe. Johns and artist Carlos Pacheco launched the new series in July 2005.[37][38] Trying to rebuild his life, Hal Jordan has moved to the nearly deserted Coast City, which is slowly being reconstructed. He has been reinstated as a Captain in the United States Air Force, and works in the Test Pilot Program atEdwards Air Force Base. The series introduces new supporting characters for Hal, most notably a man from Hal's past, Air Force's General Jonathan "Herc" Stone, who learned Hal's secret as Green Lantern during a battle with theManhunters and acts as his ally. He also begins to develop a romantic attraction with his fellow pilot, the beautiful CaptainJillian "Cowgirl" Pearlman.[39][40][41] The returning characters also include Carol Ferris, Tom Kalmaku, and Hal's younger brother James Jordan with his sister-in-law Susan and their children, Howard and Jane.
In his new title, he faces revamped versions of his Silver Age foes such asHector Hammond, theShark, andBlack Hand.[42][43][44] As part of DC's revision of the entire universe, as ofGreen Lantern vol. 4, #10, the series has skipped aheadone year, bringing drastic changes to Hal Jordan's life, as with every other hero in the DC Universe. It is revealed that Jordan spent time as aprisoner of war in an unnamed conflict and has feelings of guilt from his inability to free himself and his fellow captives.[45]
A new account of Green Lantern's origins was released in the 2008Green Lantern series "Secret Origin". In this new origin, Hal Jordan, is working as an assistant mechanic underTom Kalmaku himself, barred from flying due to his insubordination while in theUnited States Air Force and his employers lingering guilt about his father's death in the line of duty, whenAbin Sur, fightingAtrocitus of the Five Inversion, crashes near Coast City.[46][47] Hal and the rest of the Green Lantern Corps find themselves at war withSinestro and his army, theSinestro Corps during the events of theSinestro Corps War.[48]
Leading into the "Blackest Night" storyline, the "Rage of the Red Lanterns" arc features Jordan making use of bothRed andBluepower rings.[49][50][51] In theAgent Orange story arc, Hal Jordan is briefly in command of Larfleeze's power battery after he steals it from him in a battle. The orange light of avarice converses with Jordan, his costume changes, and he becomes an Orange Lantern. Larfleeze quickly takes his power battery back from Jordan.[52] The Green Lantern mythology is center stage with the DC crossover eventBlackest Night, which sees dead heroes and villains across the DC Universe becoming active as members of theBlack Lantern Corps.[53] Combating Black Lanterns with fellow DC characters theFlash, theAtom, andMera, Jordan fights alongside the high-profile members of every corps in the emotional spectrum, and oversees new DC characters inductions into all the other corps. Jordan and his "New Guardians" move with the other new corps members to combat the Black Lantern Corps and its leaderNekron directly.[54]
After the conclusion toBlackest Night, theGreen Lantern title tied into the aftermath eventBrightest Day, with several members of Corps from across the emotional spectrum seeking to gain control of theWhite Entity that settled on Earth in the final issue ofBlackest Night.[55] After the conclusion ofBrightest Day, the mad ex-Guardian of the UniverseKrona returns, taking control of the Green Lantern Corps and causing Hal, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rayner to fight their brothers-in-arms across theWar of the Green Lanterns event.[56] TheWar story ends with Hal Jordan killing Krona, an act which alarms the Guardians enough that they strip Hal of his ring and return him to Earth, no longer serving as Green Lantern of Sector 2814. In his place, inexplicably, isSinestro, former renegade and enemy of the Corps, serving in Hal's place to the shock and chagrin of everyone involved.[57]
After a new continuity was created in the wake of theFlashpoint limited series,[58] the first issue of the new volume ofGreen Lantern was released on September 14, 2011.

As part ofThe New 52 initiative, which rebooted DC's continuity, DC Comics relaunchedGreen Lantern with a new issue #1, written again byGeoff Johns and penciled byDoug Mahnke.[59] As with all of the books associated with the DC relaunch, Hal Jordan appears to be about five years younger than the previous incarnation of the character. Superheroes at large have appeared only in the past five years, and are viewed with at best, suspicion, and at worst, outright hostility.
The entire history of Johns' previous run on theGreen Lantern title is still a part of the continuity of The New 52, with major storylines "Rebirth", "Sinestro Corps War", "Blackest Night", and "Brightest Day" all still forming the backbone of the recent history of the characters.[60] As a result, the new volume ofGreen Lantern continues directly from the events ofWar of the Green Lanterns, with Sinestro serving as a Green Lantern and Hal Jordan beginning the series powerless on Earth.[61]
The title's first story arc, simply titled "Sinestro", deals with the former renegade's return to the Green Lantern Corps and Hal Jordan's mundane earthbound life. While on patrol, Sinestro visits his home planet of Korugar, and to his horror discovers that the remaining members of theSinestro Corps have enslaved the planet's populace. In order to assist him in retaking the planet, Sinestro travels to Earth and creates a ring for Hal Jordan, his greatest enemy.[61]
Following Hal Jordan and Sinestro's apparent deaths at the hands of theGuardians of the Universe while facingBlack Hand,Simon Baz, anArab-Muslim, becomes the newest Green Lantern from Earth inGreen Lantern #0.[62] Later following Jordan's revival in #20, the series shifted to focusing on him exclusively once again where he is now the leader of the Green Lantern Corps. The series later shifted where following the major incidents over the next few story arcs, Hal Jordan voluntarily became a scapegoat to preserve the Green Lanterns' reputation and officially became a renegade starting from the series 40th issue, using the same gauntletKrona once had in place of a Power Ring which lasted until the series' conclusion.
As part of theDC Rebirth relaunch of DC's titles in 2016,Green Lantern was cancelled and replaced with two new series:Green Lanterns starring Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz andHal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps starring Hal Jordan.[63]Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps had a 50 issue run, ending on August 8, 2018.Green Lanterns ran for 57 issues before ending on October 17, 2018.
The Green Lantern and Blackstars is a 3-issue series written byGrant Morrison and drawn byLiam Sharp. The series follows Hal Jordan, a Green Lantern who has been exiled from Earth for his crimes, now a member of the Blackstars, a group of exiled superheroes who have been forced to work for the Sinestro Corps.
Green Lantern volume 6 was part of theInfinite Frontier relaunch with the original creative team being Geoffrey Thorne with art by Dexter Soy. This volume follows John Stewart as the titular character, withJo Mullein and Keli Quintela (Teen Lantern) acting as supporting characters.
A newGreen Lantern ongoing series starring Hal Jordan began publication in May 2023. The series is written by Jeremy Adams and feature art by Xermánico. The series also set up a John Stewart series, with both being written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and drawn by Osvaldo Montos. Set after the events ofDark Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Guardians of Oa have quarantined Sector 2814, home of Earth, much to Hal's dismay.[64] The series also introducesRazer andAya, who were originally created forGreen Lantern: The Animated Series, into the mainline continuity.[65][66]
