Tawny Young

Tawny Young is a television news reporter in Los Angeles who becomes connected to the lives of the Green Lanterns of Earth, particularly John Stewart, during Steve Englehart's mid-1980s run on the title.

A creature of the mid-1980s DC universe, Tawny Young made her debut in Green Lantern #192 in 1985, brought to life by the creative team of Steve Englehart and Joe Staton during one of the most dynamic stretches of the Green Lantern mythos. Her world is populated by some of DC's most compelling cosmic and earthbound figures — John Stewart, Katma Tui, Hal Jordan, and the irrepressible Ch'p among them — which speaks to the rich, character-driven corner of the Bronze Age DC universe she calls home. Popping up across Green Lantern, The Green Lantern Corps, and even Booster Gold, she's a compact but genuine piece of that era's tapestry, the kind of supporting player who rewards the dedicated reader hunting the full picture of 1980s DC storytelling.
