☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
In "The Hunters," Ollie and Dinah settle into Seattle, where Dinah runs Sherwood Florist and reimagines Green Arrow’s look with a nod to Robin Hood’s legacy. As Green Arrow hunts a brutal slasher, Black Canary digs into a major drug operation—only to find their paths colliding with Shado, whose own violent vendetta threatens to unravel everything.
In "Hunters Moon [Part 1]," Green Arrow races against time to protect a woman who once testified against a man now out on bail—someone whose past crimes still echo through the present. Written by a noted storyteller and illustrated with sharp, grounded detail, this tense, character-driven tale explores the weight of justice and the cost of second chances.
Green Arrow is called in when a satellite carrying a radioactive biological weapon crashes to Earth, forcing him to race against time—and a Chinese operative— to secure the dangerous payload before it falls into the wrong hands. The mission tests his skills and resolve as he navigates a high-stakes international standoff with no clear allies.
In "The Champions [Part 2]" from DC Finest: Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters #nn, Green Arrow and Fyers find themselves locked in a high-stakes race across hostile terrain, each driven by a mission to secure a deadly radioactive biological weapon for their communist employers. With trust as fragile as the ticking clock, the two must navigate treacherous terrain and shifting loyalties before one side claims the prize.
In "A Dream of Rorschach," a fugitive duo known as Butch and Sundance elude The Question in a tense chase that leads to Seattle, where Green Arrow steps in to turn the tide. As The Question grapples with his own moral code, he finds himself haunted by the shadow of Rorschach after reading *The Watchmen*, drawing unsettling parallels between the masked vigilante and his own relentless pursuit of truth.
In "Short Days. Long Nights." from DC Finest: Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters, Green Arrow heads to Anchorage on a mission tied to Tong operations, only to find Dinah’s stolen car on a ferry—its trunk packed with an unidentifiable substance. The discovery throws him into a cold, tense investigation where every clue feels like a thread pulled from a deeper, darker web.
