Green Arrow #1
This volume collects the first part of the 2002 Green Arrow series, published in French by Semic S.A. It follows Oliver Queen's adventures as the Emerald Archer, featuring stories that blend street-level heroics with political and personal drama.
"God save the Queen" kicks off a gripping new chapter in Green Arrow’s saga, with Kevin Smith and Alex Nikolavitch crafting a tense, character-driven mystery that plunges Ollie into a psychological labyrinth. Phil Hester’s dynamic art, brought to life by Ande Parks’ inks and Guy Major’s vivid colors, captures the storm of doubt and danger as Batman scrutinizes Ollie’s identity—while the Demon’s arrival at the Queen estate raises the stakes with a chilling threat. Matt Wagner’s cover perfectly encapsulates the tension, blending shadow and suspense in a striking portrait of the archer at his most vulnerable.
In a quiet moment of respite, a familiar figure in a green hood slips back into Star City, shielding an old man from a mugging—just as the world teeters on the edge of chaos. Meanwhile, far away, Batman and Superman brace for the Final Night, haunted by a flicker of unease from Parallax. Back home, Arsenal, Black Canary, and Connor find themselves drawn into memories of the man they once called Ollie—his legacy, his choices, the quiet heroism that lingers long after he’s gone.
In "De l'eau sous les ponts," Green Arrow steps in to rescue an underage prostitute from a corrupt councilman, marking a pivotal moment in his return to Star City. With his memory still fractured and relying on Stanley Dover’s guidance, Ollie navigates a city he no longer fully recognizes, while Batman begins to piece together the identity of the new vigilante.
In "Le vieil homme et la mer," Ollie grapples with the mystery of his missing years as Mia settles in with him and Stanley to support their youth center. When a routine drug bust takes a dangerous turn, Green Arrow finds himself at odds with Black Manta, testing the limits of his resolve and the fragile peace they’ve built.
In "L'appartenance au groupe," Green Arrow finds himself caught between loyalty and doubt as he and Arthur return from a mission against Black Manta, only to be met with a Justice League that feels… off. As familiar faces greet them with unexpected warmth, Ollie’s unease grows—something’s wrong with the League’s dynamics, and even Batman’s sudden suspicion puts him in a dangerous position. Meanwhile, news of his survival reaches Canary, but the truth behind the League’s strange behavior remains just out of reach.
In "La leçon d'anatomie," Green Arrow faces a grueling test of identity when Batman subjects him to a meticulous examination and intense interrogation, demanding proof of his survival and confronting him with the truth of his apparent death—and his brush with Parallax. As doubts swirl, Canary and Roy arrive at Dover’s place searching for Ollie, while a sinister presence emerges at the Queen estate, intent on finishing what was left undone.
