He is most well known in mainstream comics for his work as writer on DC Comics Green Lantern series and in particular the story Emerald Twilight dealing with the downfall of perennial Green Lantern Hal Jordan in the 1990s.
Issue artist Bernie Wrightson became popular for his successful and groundbreaking horror-style illustration on DC's Swamp Thing which would eventually help to establish DC's adult-oriented offshoot imprint Vertigo Comics in the 1980s.
