Redeeming Green Lantern #53

While GL 53 gets jeers for giving us Hal Jordan: Insurance Adjuster, it also brings back one of my favorite characters – psycho Sue!

For those who don’t recall, Sue was a reporter who thought Hal’s brother Jim was Green Lantern. If that sounds familiar, it’s because she was essentially the Silver Age Lois Lane transplanted into Green Lantern comics and pointed at the wrong character.

She was also really, really hard to convince.

Pay close attention – it’s been six months since Hal fled Coast City like a whiny schoolboy, and Green Lantern has been appearing all over the States (plus with the Justice League of America) and Sue still thinks Jim is Green Lantern.

The worst bit is, Jim starts suffering a sort of Stockholm Syndrome.

That last panel gets extra points because it shows just what a dick Hal is.

“Time for fun with Sue’s clear mental illness!”

    “I got knocked out again? I must be Green Lantern! No other man could have this much skill in the art of self-concussion!”

    Also, the panels are doing the thing this the sidebar again.

    What’s interesting is, Hal himself *does* have periods in which he loses time and becomes a superhero.

    A different superhero, kidnapped and brainwashed by denizens of the far future.

    Welcome back Typolad!!!  Yay!!!

    Now, how the hell is that tiny thing going to fit over that baby’s giant, oversized head?  I know that spandex stretches, but…oh.  I just realized you’d put it on from the bottom.  It still looks way too small.

    I think that typolad and Mordechai Luchins are the same person, despite his efforts to fool me by having both identities appear on the same page!

    If I got knocked out all the time, I’d think I was Green Lantern, too.

    He probably got it when he got knocked out. And I’ve half a mind to think Sue was somehow responsible for it.

    I’m beating a dead horse but if the father of your infant really had a secret identity that could get your son killed, wouldn’t you keep quiet instead of blabbering about it when a villian could overhear?

    I expected Hal to say, “Hey, did you hear about Black Manta? He just killed Aquaman’s son. Loose lips, Sue, loose lips.”
