The Rough But Rewarding Journey of John Stewart, Green Lantern

The Rough But Rewarding Journey of John Stewart, Green Lantern

John Stewart was created with the best of intentions by two white guys named Neal and Denn to add some actual color to the very white DC Comics of 971 and he came out swinging, with the character not shying away from his blackness. Then he sat on a shelf for a good while before he was used at all as the substitute in a Green Lantern book where the lead never actually left. Writers would put him through hell on a whim and when he finally did get a bit of salvation it was from a creator that rightfully deserves to be forgotten . And while he's often been used as a supporting character in comics (even taking a backseat to Guy Freaking Gardner of all people!!) it was folks from television that saw his potential and would make a truly lasting impression with the character, first in Justice League in 2001 and now in the modern hit Lanterns that is redefining the character and proving he always deserved the moment he's getting now.
