Who is Jack Jordan?

Jack Jordan is Hal Jordan's brother, a civilian who represents the grounded, everyday family life behind one of DC's greatest Green Lanterns. He has no powers of his own but appears in stories exploring Hal's personal connections on Earth.

A Silver Age creation of the legendary Gardner Fox and Gil Kane, Jack Jordan made his comics debut in Green Lantern #22 in 1963, stepping into one of DC's most luminous corners of the universe. With a modest but enduring catalog footprint spanning an remarkable six-plus decades, he's the kind of character who quietly anchors the human world around a cosmic legend — sharing pages with the likes of Hal Jordan, Carol Ferris, and even Batman himself. For collectors hunting the personal side of DC's Silver Age mythology, Jack Jordan is a name worth knowing.
