ALL STAR COMICS (vol. 1) #10 (April, 1942). Cover by Everett E. Hibbard.

That meeting was burned into the memories of all the Justice Society members as the day Hawkman didn't wear pants!

Note that on the cover Flash and Green Lantern join Superman and Batman as honorary members. This was because of a rule at the time that heroes who had their own comic books could only be honorary members.

Yrra had recently returned in GLC to try and destroy the Corps & John Stewart. She learned that Xanshi was reborn after that whole "John Stewart Lantern God" stuff and has since joined the Indigo Tribe to make up for her crimes.

I see. Wow, the trades and free agency switch-ups is as bad in the Lantern Corps as it is for the National Basketball Association...

Female Characters in Comic Books

American comic books treat women the same way American men treat women.

Minor female characters did not matter in comic books. Alexandra DeWitt, Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner’s girlfriend, whom we only known for 10-15 issues, was brutally murdered and stuffed in a refrigerator by a common villain. Her only role was to die and drive a vengeance storyline for the real hero. This usage of women was so common in American comic books; the term Women in Refrigerators syndrome (WiR) was invented and used frequently in order to explain women who were killed in a brutal and unnecessary way. 

It is hard to connect Roland Barthes’ Camera Lucida to comic books, considering Camera Lucida is all about photographs. Barthes, argues that when a detail in a photograph is staged by a photographer, it does not ‘prick’ him (Barthes, 1981, pp. 47). In comic books, every detail must be planned and this might lessen the effect on the audience but the striking effect of a violent incident can be seen as punctum, even though punctum is a personal perception, some events may have similar reactions to people. This may be the reason for using this many violent plots in comic books, in order to prick people. 

Some feminists refer to Women in Refrigerators syndrome as ‘you touched my stuff’ syndrome. Male characters are seeing women as objects to be protected and get vengeance if something happens. This objectification leads to see women like different kinds of human, capable of feeling but not thinking, at least not as well as men.
