Vladimir Sokov was born in Russia in the early 1900s. His father was a man of great importance in the military who was fiercely loyal to his country. That loyalty was inherited by Vladimir, who joined the Soviet Union's Red Army and became one of its most decorated soldiers.

I new 52′d vladmir sokov

Whoever wrote the Fandom wiki page for Alan Scott was REALLY feeling the new issue oh my god

dc. listen. repressed 40s homosexuals. i know what i’m about

They're doing!!! who's who!!!!!! for the New Golden Age!!!!!!!!

The whole idea behind the New Golden Age is that a bunch of Golden Age characters were 'erased from time' and now they're being found (so it's like a soft reboot/retelling of the Golden Age without severely affecting current continuity) and who's who (these data sheets) used to be a huge thing pre internet wikis. So they're making 'lost' who's who pages for the new guys and I'm SO EXCITED!

Anyway, I like this New Golden Age Red Lantern and I hope he finds his magic baby (she's probably one of the missing kids, right?)

Also I hope the missing children, cough cough Judy Garrick, get who's who pages as well.

The real problem with Alan Scott's original green lantern costume was that it was just way, way too sexy. Just oozing sex appeal all over. Wasn't even decent to be fighting crime in that thing.

The original art by Neal Adams for the wraparound cover for Superman (vol. 1) #252, June 1972.

This issue was a 100-Page Super Spectacular that contained reprint stories of Superman (the original Powerstone story from the Golden Age), as well as Golden Age stories featuring Dr. Fate, Hawkman, Black Condor, the Spectre, Starman, and the Ray.

I guess Adams decided to include more of DC’s flying superheroes to fill-out the cover.  It’s lknd of deceptive advertising, as Kid Eternity, Lightly, Black Racer, Shining Knight, the Silver Age Green Lantern, the Golden Age Green Lantern, the Silver Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl, Red Tornado, Supergirl, and the Shining Knight aren’t inside the book.  But it’s an awesome Neal Adams cover, so the court will allow it.

That image of Superman is arguably the DC Comics used the most for merchandizing and ads throughout the 1970s and early 1980s; mores than the running Superman image I posted yesterday.  DC used the image on the covers of Superman, right over the logo, for a brief time.

It’s also been copied a million times.  There were plenty of ads where the image was used, with only minor changes to the costume.  Heck, it was even used for a newspaper ad for an X-rated spoof film of Superman, right after Superman the Movie was released.

SPOILER WARNING FOR ALAN SCOTT: GREEN LANTERN #5!!!

So the latest issue of the Alan Scott series introduced these guys, a team of soviet supervillains called The Crimson Host who are all empowered by the same source as the golden age Red Lantern. Cool. Awesome. Love it.

(From The New Golden Age #1)

My pull list (03/27/24):

Alan Scott: Green Lantern #6

The Flash #7

One of the things we're going to learn in the story is the ways in which the power of the Green Lantern and the Red Lantern are connected, how they relate to each other, and above all, why they are so connected.

Newly released interview with Tim Sheridan about his upcoming Alan Scott: The Green Lantern (2023) six-issue miniseries. First issue out October 24th 2023! (x)

DC’s The New Golden Age one-shot arrived in stores in early November, and one of the fun features it included was some new Who’s Who pages featuring several new and classic DC characters. Like Red Lantern! Artwork by Brandon Peterson.
