Green Lantern Merchandise – Willpower You Can Wear
A ring that creates anything its wearer can imagine, limited only by the strength of their will: few superhero comic concepts are as elegant as that of the Green Lanterns. It began in 1940 with Alan Scott as the first wearer, before test pilot Hal Jordan took over in 1959 and redefined the mythology – the lone hero became the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic peacekeeping force that divides the cosmos into sectors and has found new wearers for decades. At Elbenwald, the Green Lantern range revolves around exactly the piece that defines this fandom: jewelry bearing the famous lantern symbol, as a ring on your finger or a pendant on a chain. Short of actual recruitment, you won't get closer to the Corps.
Why the Green Ring Is a Cult Icon
Because it's the most democratic artifact in the comic world. Thor's hammer demands worthiness, Batman's gear demands a billion-dollar fortune – the Green Lanterns' power ring asks only for strength of will and the ability to overcome great fear. That's why there have been many wearers over the decades, from Hal Jordan through John Stewart to Kyle Rayner and Jessica Cruz, and why the symbol works so well beyond the comic page too: whoever wears it tells a small story. Not inherited, not bought, but chosen by the ring – or so the legend goes, at least. That this particular fandom prefers to wear its merchandise in ring form is no coincidence, but simply the most logical product idea in comic history.
Frequently asked questions
What Green Lantern products does Elbenwald offer?
Jewelry bearing the Corps' sign: rings with the Green Lantern symbol in various designs as well as necklaces with the logo. Details on material and sizes are listed on the respective product page.
How long has Green Lantern been around?
The first Green Lantern, Alan Scott, debuted in 1940 in US comics. The best-known version, test pilot Hal Jordan, followed in 1959 – and with him came the Green Lantern Corps as an intergalactic peacekeeping force.
What does the ring mean in Green Lantern?
The power ring is both weapon and tool: it creates whatever its wearer imagines, fueled by pure willpower. In the comics, the ring chooses its own wearer – provided they have strength of will and fearlessness.
Range overview
The range focuses on the essentials – and what could be more essential for this hero than the ring? Among the rings you'll find the Corps symbol in several variants, from glowing green to understated grey, while the necklaces hang the logo at heart height. The jewelry category gives you an overview of every piece in the shop – in case your outfit could use reinforcements from other fandoms.
What else goes well with it?
Hal Jordan rarely works alone: in the Justice League he teams up with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, and he shares one of the DC universe's oldest friendships with the Flash. Supergirl flies in the same league too. The DC Comics theme world gives you the full publisher cosmos with all its heroes and villains.
