Green Lantern #1 has the Golden Age hero moving into his own title with the debut of an iconic logo after an impressive run in All American Comics. Howard Purcell's classic cover also features a striking black background and a dynamic rendering of our hero (aka Alan Scott) fighting an evildoer. The premiere issue features co-creators Bill Finger and Marty Nodell's retelling of the origin of the Golden Age star, plus bios and photos of Finger and Nodell (plus William Moulton Marston, here writing an essay on the importance of will power as "Dr. Wm. Moulton Marston").
Green Lantern's solo title would enjoy a successful run from 1941 to 1949, Of course, the character of Green Lantern would be successfully revived in the Silver Age, and the original Green Lantern would be featured in crossover stories featuring the Justice Society of America. This title would still remain the only showcase for the original GL until 2023's Alan Scott: The Green Lantern.
Overstreet Guide 2013 F/VF (7.0) value = $15,050.
