What is the story of 'Green Lantern' in comic book format?

Created in its first incarnation (a lantern named Alan Scott) in 1940 by Martin Nodell and Bill FingerThe concept of the Green Lantern comics is that of a super-powered police force that fights evil with rings that allow them to channel energy into different forms. There are many Lanterns that patrol the known and unknown universe.
