Today in Comics History, November 15: Happy birthday, Martin Nodell!

Born on this day in 1915: comic book artist Martin Nodell, co-creator (with Bill Finger) of the Golden Age Green Lantern!


from Green Lantern (1941 series) #1 (Fall 1941)



Nodell also worked for Marvel/Timely in the late 1940s, drawing their triumvirate of Captain America, the Human Torch, and Sub-Mariner. Plus as seen here, he was an avid participant in comics discourse!
