About the series

From 1939 to 1948, DC’s All-American Comics ran for 102 issues, anchored by the early adventures of Alan Scott—the original Green Lantern—alongside a cast of humor and adventure features like Mutt and Jeff, Captain Tootsie, and Rollo. The series was a proving ground for top Golden Age talent, with regular scripting from Bill Finger, Alfred Bester, and John Broome, and art by Paul Reinman, Irwin Hasen, and Stan Asch. As a cornerstone of DC’s pre-Superhero boom, it introduced the mystical origins of one of the publisher’s most enduring icons while showcasing the era’s blend of costumed heroics and lighthearted comic strips.
