Geoff Johns

DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer and New York Times best-selling author Geoff Johns has left his mark on the comic book industry by renewing interest in some of DC Comics' biggest franchises - like Green Lantern, The Flash, and Aquaman.

Originally hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Johns attended Michigan State University where he earned a degree in Media Arts and Film. In the 90s, he left to Los Angeles to work in the film industry. First, Geoff ended up as the assistant to Richard Donner, working on Conspiracy Theory and Lethal Weapon 4. During that time, he also began his comics career writing Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. and JSA (co-written with David S. Goyer) for DC Coimcs. He worked with Richard Donner for four years, leaving the company to pursue writing full-time.

His first comics assignments with DC Comics led to a critically acclaimed five-year run on the The Flash. Since then, he has quickly become one of the most popular and prolific comics writers today.

Beyond comics, he's also contributed to the Green Lantern film and Cartoon Network's Robot Chicken TV series.
