Flodo Span

Flodo Span is a bizarre, gaseous alien member of the Green Lantern Corps — a sentient cloud-like entity wielding a power ring despite lacking a conventional physical form, representing the Corps' tradition of recruiting the most unexpected beings from across the universe.

A genuinely intriguing oddity from the Copper Age of DC Comics, Flodo Span made their entrance in 1987 courtesy of the creative team of Steve Englehart and Joe Staton — right in the thick of The Green Lantern Corps, one of DC's most imaginatively populated cosmic titles. With only a handful of catalog appearances spread across The Green Lantern Corps, Action Comics Weekly, and even a Who's Who Update '88 entry, Flodo Span is the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the dedicated explorer, sharing pages with luminaries like Hal Jordan, Kilowog, Katma Tui, and Arisia. Brief in tenure but enshrined in DC's own official reference work, this is exactly the sort of rare cosmic curiosity that makes digging through late-'80s Green Lantern back issues such a thrill for collectors.
