From Green Lantern #5, a peak at a Roy Thomas story we’ve never seen:

They should do this.

    Man, when I read that headline I thought that Carol and Lois would become violent vigilantes or something. Suffice to say I’m pretty disappointed. Why must women in these things be completely defined by which man they love?

  2. JLRoberson Says:

    I’d write it.

    But even if it were good, they’re not taking submissions. It’s all Hive Editor Brain at DC now.

  3. Dierna Says:

    That story really wouldn’t apply to the hear and now tho. Lois got her man. Carol recently divorced (her hubby’s name was Gil) just cuz she realized she still had feelings for Hal. Yeesh… :/

    This is the man who pretty much took over the writing reins from Stan Lee – just as Marvel entered its stride, giving us some of my favourite comics of all time – saying how much he enjoyed seeing the issue where Hal gets knocked out by a toy plane.

    Hal actually did have a kid but he kept dropping it on his head. And yes Pieface is all the companionship any man who loves to expose his fantastic ass really needs.

  6. Naryldor Says:

    If GL had had a kid sidekick we would’ve seen the first ever recorded case of a child being knocked out cold by a rubber duckie, Hal would’ve been arrested and sent to jail for child abuse (where he’d had probably abandoned for good his fantastic-ass exposition policy).

    I don’t know, guys…there is just something pretty heart-warming to know that the great (IMO) Roy Thomas was a fanboy just like me.

  8. Your Obedient Serpent Says:

    …you were surprised that Roy Thomas was an Ascended Fanboy?

    After All-Star Squadron??

  9. Michael Says:

    As it turned out, Lana was the Manhunter.

  10. Michael Says:

    Hm, re-reading that letter, it doesn’t do Thomas’s image any favors. Between Lois and Carol getting together to “trap” their men and Pieface being “all the companionship necessary for a comic book hero,” his opinion of women doesn’t seem very high at all.

    It was obvious from All-Star that he was a fanboy…but still…he had a letter to the editor printed!! That’s just…..YEAH!!

  12. Kyle Says:

    Actually, he’s had much more than “a” letter to the editor printed. He was a big time fanboy before he became Stan Lee’s right-hand man.
