Green Arrow #48

Green Arrow #48 (May 2005) serves up one wild, visually arresting cover by James Jean — a heavily armored, feathered figure with a pale, almost theatrical face clutches a battered cowboy-hatted man riddled with arrows, while reaching hands thrust into the frame from below. The tagline "Ride 'Em, Cowboy!" sets a tone that's equal parts grim and darkly playful. Judd Winick, Tom Fowler, and Rodney Ramos continue "New Business Part 2: Greeks Bearing Gifts" inside, and if Jean's striking cover is any indication, Oliver Queen's world is anything but quiet.
