That said, DC Comics can’t stop republishing Johns’s books, but Tomasi’s work is becoming hard to find. Peter Tomasi was in charge of the Green Lantern Corps series, and reading the two together is highly recommended. If Geoff Johns is mostly credited for the success of the Green Lantern title at that time, he was not alone. Johns started by bringing back Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern Corps ( he became The Spectre after his redemptory appearance as Parallax in the 1996 event The Final Night), then he introduced new concepts and expanded the Green Lantern mythos in a big way that still defined it to this day. It certainly is influential, it leads to the famous Blackest Night event, and it was epic and full of colors. When you look into Green Lantern, Geoff Johns’s run is considered the one to read.

Partly it was the police he feared but sometimes his nervousness was deeper and more nebulous, touching on certain indescribable things into which he had injected a morbid life, and from which he had not seen that life depart. West continues his lifes work: the revival of the dead by purely. West, in reality, was more afraid than I for his abominable pursuits entailed a life of furtiveness and dread of every shadow. Herbert West, The Reanimator, returns Setting up shop in New Orleans, the brilliant Dr. I wonder even now if it could have been other than a daemoniac dream of delirium. West’s sole absorbing interest was a secret study of the phenomena of life and its cessation, leading toward the reanimation of the dead through injections of an excitant solution. ( HPL: 'Herbert West-Reanimator') According to more recent accounts, he has brown hair. That was why, when establishing his practice in Bolton, he had chosen an isolated house near the potter’s field. He is a highly intelligent, unconventional and ruthless man. Herbert West, whose associate and assistant I was, possessed scientific interests far beyond the usual routine of a village physician. The essence of Herbert West’s existence was a quest amid black and forbidden realms of the unknown, in which he hoped to uncover the secret of life and restore to perpetual animation the graveyard’s cold clay. Herbert West is 'a small, slender, spectacled youth with delicate features, yellow hair, pale blue eyes, and a soft voice'.
