Today I learned Hal Jordan and John Stewart were modeled on Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier, respectively
Now if you’ll excuse me I have a sudden urge to go draw a 60s green lantern au

People who say that they’re a “Harley looking for their Joker” or vice versa need to shut up. Start saying “I’m a Spoony looking for my Joker.”
Joker loves Spoony more than he ever loved Harls.
Also Spoony is just an icon.

Ok I’m working on it run and I have
John inspired by Poitier (duh)
Hal inspired by Paul Newman and Marlon Brando, along with a dash of Jim Morrison
Kyle inspired by Syd Barrett, Marc Bolan, and Dave Davies
And I’m kind of stuck on Guy, I really liked the idea of basing his look off of 60s skinheads (the original, left-leaning ones, NOT the racists that co opted the culture later), but that was a pretty uniquely British scene. Any ideas?
