Johns said he took economic as well as ethnic cues for the character from his native Detroit area, with Baz resorting to stealing cars after being laid off from his automotive engineering job.

BarryWatch2: Geoff Johns will be continuing his promotional activity through the week.

On Friday from 5-7 p.m. Johns will appear at Green Brain–located at 13210 Michigan Ave.–for a signing to commemorate the release of Green Lantern #0 featuring Simon Baz, who is expected to be a key figure in the upcoming Green Lantern crossover Rise of the Third Army.

Purchase of Green Lantern #0 from Green Brain Comics is required for attendance. There is a limit of two items signed per person.

On Saturday, Sept. 8, Johns will meet with area youth to discuss the creation of superhero characters during an invitation-only workshop being held at the AANM, located at 13624 Michigan Ave. Then, from 4-6 p.m. Johns will speak to the public about his career and characters in the Lower Level Auditorium at the AANM. The presentation is free, and seating is first come, first served.

"Simon Baz is a character of his time, reflecting the world around us," Johns said in a statement. "The Arab American National Museum has been a great resource for me as I developed this new character and I hope the Dearborn community and my fellow Michiganders will enjoy getting to know Earth's newest Green Lantern."
