Where it came from
Secret Origins #4 was published by DC Comics in 1986 as part of a series dedicated to re-establishing the backstories of major characters following the narrative shifts of the Crisis on Infinite Earths event. This specific issue features the origin stories of the Golden Age and Silver Age versions of Green Lantern, Alan Scott and Hal Jordan, providing a bridge between disparate eras of DC continuity for a new generation of readers.
The issue includes creative contributions from writers Roy Thomas and Joey Cavalieri, with artwork by artists including Dave Gibbons and Rick Veitch. The design and editorial approach were focused on modernizing legacy characters while maintaining respect for their historical roots, a hallmark of the mid-1980s DC strategy to unify their sprawling multiversal history. It was well-received by fans of the era for its clarity in synthesizing complex character timelines into accessible, standalone narratives.
