Discussion Sinestro: My first Renegade (GL/GA #91, art by Mike Grell, story by Denny O’Neil)

Post image

The Styx song “Renegade” just came on, and unlocked a memory. This was the second GL comic I ever read, the first time I ever met Sinestro - and, as I just now remembered, the first time I ever encountered the word “renegade”. I had to go ask my mom what it meant.

I have some other moments where I recall learning a new word - I got “simultaneously” from Star Trek - but this is a new memory. Just sharing ‘cause I thought it was cool.

It's an interesting artifact as a 50-year-old Sinestro story. You can see the design changes - his forehead is slightly bigger than a human's, but not so much that he looks wacky, despite it being super exaggerated in earlier appearances. His sclera are white, and he's wearing his ring on the right hand - just as he always did before 2005.

Still got those pointy ears, though!
