He aimed to bring Hal and Carol Ferris back together, get all the characters set up, give Hal some new friends and create a new support cast as a launching pad for more stories. Building on the momentum of O'Neil’s ‘back-to-basics’ approach for Hal Jordan, the first thing Wolfman did when he started writing Green Lantern was to shine up all of Hal Jordan’s relationships that had gotten a little vague over the last 20 years. Wolfman after he had just left Marvel comics due to a dispute with Marvel’s editor-in-chief, Jim Shooter. Marv Wolfman became the regular writer for Green Lantern v2 at issue #133. There would be another price increase to 60 cents by issue #144, for an extra 2 pages of story in 1981. Written by Jack C Harris and illustrated by Rodin L Rodriguez, the Adam Strange back-ups would run until Green Lantern v2 #147 (but not before switching creative teams to Laurie Sutton as writer and Carmine Infantino as artist). Green Lantern v2 #132 saw a price jump from forty to fifty cents - this involved an extra eight pages of story and this is when Adam Strange became a back-up feature. Fans loved the concept and demanded more Green Lantern Corps stories. Written by Bob Toomey and drawn by Alex Saviuk, the Green Lantern Corps stories were some previously completed but unpublished work that finally had a chance to be printed. The Green Lantern Corps played a prominent role in a few of O'Neil’s post-Green Arrow issues, but more importantly, the Green Lantern Corps received a back-up feature in Green Lantern v2 #130. Another interesting development was occurring: now that Green Lantern wasn’t tethered to Green Arrow, there was more room to explore the Green Lantern mythos, and that included the Green Lantern Corps. What’s noteworthy about these issues is that we’re starting to see more of Green Lantern’s classical villains appear (Sonar and Evil Star). Bob Rozakis wrote issue #130, Mike W Barr wrote #131 and Paul Kupperberg wrote issue #132. Green Lantern v2 issues #130 to #132 had guest writers. Whether it was a good time for O'Neil to cut and run from DC was up for debate as he had previously killed off Batwoman (Kathy Kane) in the pages of Detective Comics that very same summer. Another element O'Neil brought back was Hal Jordan’s arch-nemesis Sinestro - most of O'Neil’s final six issues involved a running plot of Hal Jordan battling Sinestro (with a dash of classic Green Lantern villains Hector Hammond and Star Sapphire thrown in for good measure). In his last six issues of Green Lantern, O'Neil managed to return Hal Jordan to his roots - Carol Ferris was re-instated as a potential love interest, Thomas Kalmaku (AKA Pieface) was back to being his sidekick, and Hal Jordan was once again a test pilot for Ferris Airlines.

Denny O'Neil, who had been writing Green Lantern since it’s DC Explosion revival in 1976 ( Green Lantern v2 #90), wrote another six issues after Green Arrow had been booted out of the series and then left DC to work for Marvel comics in 1980.
Green Arrow already had a long residency as a feature in World Finest v1 since 1977 - so don’t feel too sorry for him. The effects discontinue upon Tarrant's command or if he should happen to be incapacitated.After Green Arrow was evicted from the series, Green Lantern v2 began to get a whole lot better. Body Art Animation: The Tattooed Man's body is covered with various tattoos that Abel can animate and control simply by touching the region of his body where the tattoo is located.Before dragging him off to jail, he allowed him to bring his mother a birthday present. He had only one tattoo he didn't use - a heart with "mom". Green Lantern used leftover ink from earlier fights to inject his own tattoos into Tattooed Man, which counteracted the ones Tarrant had wanted to use.
The three tattoos under his control where a lion, a patriotic superhero named "Major Trouble", and a robot disguised as a trash can. Green Lantern had multiple fights with him, one of them when Tarrant broke out of prison on his mother's birthday. Abel Tarrant was a criminal in Coast City who was tattooed with radioactive ink, which allowed his tattoos to come to life.
