All-American Comics #16 The Origin Of The Golden Age Green Lantern

Yesterday WBG+ brought you the origin of Silver Age Green Lantern. Today the origin of Golden Age Green Lantern.

All-American Comics Vol 1 #16

Story: The Origin of Green Lantern (7-Pages)

There is a lot to unpack from this issue. The easiest way to sum it all up as not to spoil the read.

A series of events over the course of 2,000 years leads to Death, Life and finally Power.

Over all I personally enjoyed this origin and the golden age Green Lantern more than all of the other versions. The mysticism involved in this origin and golden age GL for me, makes for a more fascinating read.

"Three times shall I flame green! First - to bring death! Second - to bring life! Third - to bring power!" -- the Green Flame of Life
