My brother is a HUGE fan of comic books.  I kind of enjoy them too.  Do you?
Absolutely! The comic books, the movies, the action figures, TV shows.. I've been into them since I was a kid. My brother is also a huge fan, too. Bigger than me. He even has a copy of one of the first comic books, called "Famous Funnies," that came out in 1933. He's kind of nerdy about it.
Do you like the DC comics?  I can never remember the name of the other group of comics.
You've got DC and Marvel, which are the big two, but then there's WildStorm, Valiant, MillarWorld, and Milestone, to name some contenders for who comes third. If you're asking me, I side with DC because they have Green Lantern, my favorite superhero. But you can't forget Superman, Batman, The Flash, etc. It's pretty big since it's a subsidiary of Warner Bros.
I haven't seen much about the Green Lantern.  What is his basic story line?
Technically, there are multiple Green Lanterns, but the first was Alan Scott, whose story was created in 1940. So, the Green Lantern(s) is a superhero that has a magical ring, right? And this ring gives them extraordinary powers, which Alan Scott, the first, used to fight crime in New York City. Hal Jordan is probably the best known version of Green Lantern, and is the superhero that is a founding member of the Justice League!
Wow.  I didn't know that about the Green Lantern being a founding member.  I think of Batman and Superman.  
Yeah, interesting, right? Just as interesting as the fact that comic books apparently, while popularized in the US in the 1930s, came about in 18th century Japan and 1830s Europe.
I really didn't know that!  That never even crossed my mind.  Although, I suppose I can see some of that.  The various artwork of some of those comics looks Japanese.  Amazing what you learn.  You seem to be quite informed about this.  Thank you for all this information.
The US version of comic books kind of started out somewhat with a smaller vision, as they were just compilations of funny comic strips, like from the Sunday paper, you know? But then people got the bright idea to expand the capability of it and used it to tell more full-fledged stories of all genres, and drifted away from just funny ones.
