Alan Scott: The Green Lantern is a queer mainstream superhero story like few others

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #1.

Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern, made his comic debut back in 1941. But thanks to the modern story development of Alan Scott coming out as gay, he remains surprisingly relevant to the DC Universe. And now, he's taking the spotlight in his own limited series as part of DC's New Golden Age.

The New Golden Age revisits the histories of classic DC heroes of the '40s and '50s, adding in new elements that connect them more strongly to the legacy of the DC Universe. For Alan Scott: The Green Lantern, writer Tim Sheridan and artist Cian Tormey are leaning into that concept, bringing Alan Scott's previously unseen enemy the Golden Age Red Lantern back into his timeline while also exploring Alan's sexuality and what that meant for someone in the '40s.
