DC character 80th anniversaries are the gift that keep on giving for everyone. For fans like me, these Specials have been fantastic. For creators, a chance to do a stand-alone tale from a specific era, or for a creator with a long history with that character a chance to go home again. Obviously for DC, those balance sheets should look decent too. Green Lantern’s 80th is slightly different, in that there have been many Green Lantern’s down the years. The most famous, Hal Jordan, didn’t appear until the dawn of the Silver Age in the 1950’s, so DC are cheating a little here, as it’s really the 80th anniversary of the original Green Lantern himself, Alan Scott. My favourite Justice Society of America member, as it happens, but probably not a guy to carry a 100 page book by himself.
