When the Green Lantern dealership was reboot in 1959’sShowcase#22 by John Broome , Gil Kane , Joe Giella , and Gaspar Saladino , Hal Jordan supplant Alan Scott as the titular character .

Readers first meet the Green Lantern ’s unknown Silver Age helplessness here , with Abin Sur saying,“Once you have the barrage , you will have power over everything - except what is yellow . “Abin Sur explain that this is because there is a " yellowish impurity " in the Lantern .
As a longtime Green Lantern fan , I ’m absolutely in love with this moment .
While this weakness seems fair enough for a generic comic book character , it quickly became evident in Hal Jordan ’s former adventures how derisory it was for the titanic force ofthe Green Lantern ringto be bar by anything yellow-bellied . I would be remiss if I did n’t charge to the now - iconic shot in Frank Miller and Jim Lee’sAll - Star Batman & Robin , the Boy Wonder#9 , in which Batman render Hal powerless by confront him in a room where everything , even Batman and Robin , has been slathered in yellow paint . It ’s uproarious - but ridiculous .

In egress # 3 , Johns and Van Sciver debut the now iconic Emotional Spectrum , which give the Green Lanterns their powers . The squad also introduces Parallax , a being of yellow fear energy . Imprisoned in the Central Lantern Battery , Parallax was the " sensationalistic dross " all along , as fear weakens and toxicant willpower;it was Parallax ’s influencethat foreclose the ring from working on anything yellow .

This genius story twisting still limit Green Lantern lore to this day .

All of this context of use and account is distilled into one exclusive , stark panel inGreen Lantern Corps#1 : when Sinestro passes through the lily-livered barrier , it is a real metaphor for move past one ’s biggest fear . As a longtime Green Lantern lover , I ’m utterly in sexual love with this minute . It occupy what used to be a Green Lantern ’s greatest failing and turns it into strength by establish what the colouring signifies and how it no longer affects the Lantern Corps . This individual instrument panel perfectly captures the Green Lantern ethos : the ability to overcome slap-up fear .
DC ’s new Green Lantern serial is almost here , introducing an exciting raw squad dynamic for the universe of discourse ’s most celebrated intergalactic police force .
The Green Lanternfranchise has execute the gamut from featherbrained space opera to sci - fi police adjective , but I ’d contend that the core conceit of willpower vs. fear gives the series its sodding appeal . Ever since Johns and Van Sciver ’s contributions , the world of Green Lanternhas explode into an entire rainbow of excited symbolism , turning encounters of bright colored noncitizen into people of colour - coded philosophic battle . Nothing sums this up better thanGreen Lantern Corps#1,which manages to bring the entire concept of theGreen LanternCorpsin a individual , perfect panel : the onetime yellow failing now recontextualized into abyssal strength .
