About this Collection

This volume launches the DC Finest line for Green Arrow, collecting the landmark late-1980s stories that redefined the character. It includes Mike Grell's acclaimed 'Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters' miniseries, which stripped Oliver Queen of his gimmick arrows and set him on a grittier, more grounded path, along with the early issues of his subsequent ongoing series. Key supporting characters like Black Canary, Dinah Lance, and The Question appear as Oliver navigates a darker world of street-level crime and personal consequence.

In "The Hunters," Green Arrow and Black Canary settle into a new life in Seattle, where Dinah opens Sherwood Florist and crafts a fresh, Robin Hood-inspired costume for Ollie. As Dinah delves into uncovering a major drug operation and Green Arrow pursues a brutal slasher, the city's shadows grow darker—especially when Shado emerges, hunting with deadly precision of her own. Written and illustrated by Mike Grell, with inks by Lurene Haines and colors by Julia Lacquement, this standout issue features a cover by Mike Grell.
