Alan Scott: the OG GL.

If you've been around superhero comics much, you likely know that there was a Golden Age version of Green Lantern well before Hal Jordan, or John Stewart, or Kyle Raynor
.

This guy's name was Alan Scott, and today (thanks to Pappy and his Golden Age Comic Blogzine, I finally got to read my first, authentic Alan Scott adventure. Aside from Scott's annoying sidekick, Doiby, I didn't think the ole' story was too bad...but I recommend you head over to Pappy's site, and read it for yourself...then, come back here and tell me if I'm wrong about Doiby.
