Story history — History and later developments — spoilers
After Charlie’s brother is killed while standing in for him, Charlie helps Hal pursue the attackers and earns a place in the Corps. His later work in an alien sector forces him to move beyond familiar human audiences and assumptions. Following the Corps’ collapse he joins the Darkstars. The Darkstars chapter is a separate organization’s story, not simply a new color of the Green Lantern Corps.
Reference scope: The secondary profile cites Green Lantern #55–56 for his recruitment, #158 for the alien-sector story and Darkstars #27. No publisher biography confirming these details was located in this review.
