The Thing and Green Lantern (Alan Scott)



Well, I've Had The Thing meeting Hal, John, Kyle and Guy... so it was only a matter of time before he ran into the original Green Lantern. You know that he is awesome because he is the only superhero (aside from maybe Firestorm) that can make the "puffy shirt" look cool. I like how many artists give each of the GL's ring manifestations their own personal twist - Hal is old school, Kyle draws on his artistic prowess, John's are architecturally based, Guy is blunt and to the point, and Alan's are engulfed in emerald flame. With the original Superman written out of current DC continuity, I think an argument can be made that Alan Scott is the elder statesman of the DCU.

Dave says -

That makes sense: Alan, Jay and Carter founded the Golden-Age, since Clark, Bruce and Diana showed up much later...

Did you read that Green Lantern Corps Quarter back in the '90's? Good stuff there was an Alan Scott story in every one...

Yeah, I kinda liked the "young Alan" phase. You can see that costume on this cover.

Hiya! Just like to say I'm a really big fan of your comic covers. If you ever return to do Batman but hey I like the Thing as well, Would you mind making a crossover featuring one of the Mighty Crusaders like the Shield or the Fly? Or even maybe a crossover showing the thing and Batman versus Thanos and Darkseid.

Keep up the good work!

I have been making new B&B covers all along and I will start posting them once we get to the end of the alphabet with The Thing. Stay Tuned!
