Yeah reminds of when that fact came up in the Brave and Bold, in a story set shortly after Iris death and when Carol was being written as very cold to Hal.
...

Hal danced with Carol at least twice I can recall. How good he is wasn't commented on so likely meant to be average.

And prior to that his first ring blew up in 1965 by Evil Star in GL v2 #37 and the Guardians gave him a new one. (We'll call it ring B)

That ring was also blown up by Evil Star a short while later...

DC has gone through periodic panics over looking 'old' seeming trauma related to the meteoric rise of Marvel. Sure Marvel had come into existence in the Golden Age as well, but it was a bit player...

I'll be brutal. There is no just "forget about that time he was written to go out with a minor" Englehart KNEW how fucked up it was and tried to throw every excuse he could and shockingly (heavy...

She got along okay with him during the mid 70s when GL and GA first came back. She did end up breaking up with Hal when she fell for a guy who turned out to be an alien who was trying to make the...

Also worth noting neither Gold or ultra violet have ever appeared or I think even been mentioned in GL comics. They are mostly connected to specific writers, Scott Snyder for the ultra and Bendis for...

More excerpts from a different Back Issue talking about Hal and in this case also Sinestro. With Hal communtry from O'Neil (which itself is an excerpt from his intro to the first reprinting of HTT)...

I'm not sure he saw it as something to grow out of, though there is a clear contrast, Hal at his most down to earth as a symbol of resisting being GL. But he did say he wanted that late Broome era...

Well we're not 100% sure what is up with Hal's current ring and a firm answer on others is hard because, retcons, but normally GLC rings are made of some kind of martial. I can't recall what the most...

Interestingly Enrique Alcatena proposed Heroic Fantasy/Lovecraftian Green Lantern thing for Elseworlds that was turned down, he made some great art for the pitch.
...

So.... you want us to gaze into the future and tell you for 100% sure what future writers will do in order to prove if something can be useful.

Yeah sorry I left my time-space visualizer in my...

There had been, hints of Hal as a ladies man. He hung out with a lot of ladies as GL in second Showcase issue he appeared in, but it was quick, just a page and one could read it as him trying to get...

If there is one thing people talk about when it comes to Hal in GL volume 3, its the gray temples and the age that went along with that. Again you have fans that liked it, but others that, REALLY...

Yeah I'll talk about the fan perception of his run later, but especially that early stuff was for me gold. One of the first writers to really dig back to that wondering period and the beatnik vibe...

Morrison played with not awful Guardians a bit. Though they... shall we say stumbled a bit on handling things in terms of the scrutiny on police stuff, but all that is... a lot as it the handling of...

I mean sadly superheroes tend to be rather bad at dealing with those sort of things. The hero community wasn't in a huge rush to try and give Hal much comfort after Coast City and when he blew up...

(I should note astronaut is not... a perfect stand in for what a test pilot represented at the time, but it has a lot of elements, and Hal was clearly associated with the space program in the 60s...

As the 60s came to an end Hal had a few writers on his book. But for the majority of the decade it had fallen on Broome and Fox to chronicle his tales. These tales rarely focused on inner life and...

Hmmm I'm 99% sure that's wrong, but I'd have to do a close re-read of the Specter stuff I suppose its possible I've missed it in the past.

I mentioned it last time but the 90s kicked off with a...

And Kyle was not Hispanic till 2002 and the lat 31 issues of his run. Justice League animated came out in 2001 when he was still purely white. (as I note later I can't really give Kyle credit for...

Yeah as I said, things were going to be rocky no matter what. But when the face of the company to the readers steps in to declare "man what a bad charterer!" oh boy did that not help no matter your...

Well there is truth to this, though honestly Guy did fine and arguably had his best writing in the wake of ET, so really just Hal and John that got hit really bad. That's not how it was seen and well...

Sooooooo, you know that thing on what the conversation around Hal was like in the 90s (at least as I saw it) thing I've mentioned? Yeah, yeah it end up being... big. So, gonna put it out in parts...

Huh stumbled onto an interesting set of connections between Hal and, of all things, Man-Thing. So something things sent me back flipping through the DeMatteis Specter run, and of course ran back into...
