Long live our superheroes and their creators!

While not a fan, the very core concept of the character and his weaknesses was ingenious.

His creative genius will be missed.

My respects and regards.

I always liked Alan Scott more than any other Green Lantern (except maybe G'nort) and to hear of his passing is sad. The idea was great and all of the characters that have spawned out of Alan Scott is amazing (outside of just the GL Corps, there are characters like Green Ghost or Dr. Spectrum), and his creator, Martin Nodell, will be missed greatly.

*cries*

Tis a sad day. I'm a huge Green Lantern fan... he will be missed, but his legacy will live on forever.

"And I shall shed my light over dark evil,
For the dark things cannot stand the light,
the light of the Green Lantern!"

Access That is by far the Best Post I have ever Seen.

Also this suprises me, although he will always be remembered, his ideas live in every GL comic.

In brightest day, in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight!
Let those who worship evil's might,
beware my power.. Green Lantern's light!


R.I.P.

This makes my signed Alan Scott all the more special I suppose.

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Access again."

I was never much of a green lantern fan growing up. It seemed very two dimensional. (although the same could be said for the majority of comic characters early on in their existence).

Then I read "In Darkest Night"

and The ION storyline, and a few others.

The character and plot depth those provided (especially ION)singlehandedly made me a fanboy to yet another comic character. ;)

I don't know anything about the man who created it, besides the obvious. Nonetheless I'm very glad he did, and thus I extend to those who he left behind my condolences.

for me its always been Conner kent and Hal jordan. And if not for this man i wouldnt have one of my childhood heroes, so it is with deep regret that i write this sad post. As the green lantern corps grows in the new DC universe let us hope they dont forget thier true founder.

perhaps today is the darkest night.

A very fitting tribute. If you know the character in question, even more so.
