Green Arrow #2

Crouched low in a rain-slicked urban alley, a grim, hooded Green Arrow grips his bow and a fistful of arrows with quiet, coiled intensity — it's a portrait of a street-level hunter, not a flashy superhero. Mike Grell both wrote and drew this cover, lending it a painterly, noir atmosphere that fits perfectly with the "Hunters Moon" storyline running through this early chapter of the series. Part of DC's mature-readers "New Format" launch in 1988, this issue signals that Oliver Queen's world has grown decidedly darker and more grounded.
