About Vintage Green Lantern Comic Books

First appearing in 'All American Comics No. 16' in July 1940, Alan Scott, Green Lantern's first alter ego, enjoyed success until getting cancelled in 1949. The character was brought out of retirement in 1959, with a new identity, test pilot Hal Jordan. Later on, the Green Lantern was teamed with the Green Arrow, and the two were popular together for taking on 'real-world issues.'

About Collecting Comics

Comics have been published for over a century, and collectors tend to categorize them into five ‘Ages’: Platinum (1897-1937), Golden (1938-55), Silver (1956-69), Bronze (1970-79) and Modern (1980-present). Comics continued to evolve throughout, but some fundamentals remain the same: rarity, title/issue, and condition (there’s a specific grading scale) determine value. Popular titles include Spider-Man, Superman, X-Men, Batman, Green Lantern, and Incredible Hulk.
