Stanley Dover

A sinister figure who crawled out of the Modern Age DC universe, Stanley Dover made his mark in Kevin Smith and Phil Hester's celebrated early-2000s Green Arrow run — a brief but memorable presence in one of that era's most talked-about relaunches. With only a handful of catalog appearances, he's the kind of compact, concentrated character whose impact far outweighs his page count, sharing those issues with Green Arrow himself and the young Mia Dearden. If you're diving into Smith's landmark Green Arrow work, Stanley Dover is exactly the sort of character who makes that run so compelling to revisit.
