Solomon Grundy has been, among other things, a long time foe of both the original Green Lantern: Alan Scott and the Justice Society of America.This session we are going to explore the many facets of this character both in comics and in other media. So let’s get going @CharactersOfDC members. Slaughter Swamp awaits!

Welcome to the first week of our annual Monster Mashin celebration of Halloween. This week, since Solomon Grundy’s actual first appearance issue is not available on DCUI, we will be reading from the December 1945 issues of Comic Cavalcade. Here Solomon Grundy faces off against the OG Green Lantern: Alan Scott in “And Then There was One”.
