Holy Christ! I've gone drinkin' for a few hours and you guys add 3 fucking pages. Geez. I'll hit the high points, then.

Considering that Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman were the only three superhero titles that DC published in the mid to late 50's and that the Alan Scott Green Lantern was replaced by the Hal Jordan one when the title was relaunched, no, Alan doesn't have more stories that Superman. Alan's mostly been an unused character given the span of DC's publication history. Superman's been going strong with several monthly titles for damn near his entire 65 year run, and especially since the Byrne reboot. Not to mention all the titles that he appeared in as a guest and the JLA books. There is no way that Alan has more stories than Supes.
And most of the continutiy that Johns refers to doesn't come from the 40's. It comes from the 80's. They were stories that retold the old exploits of the JSA and gave credence to some, not all, of the old stories. Especially since continutiy wasn't a very important concept in the 40's.
