Green Arrow #5

Ed Hannigan and Dick Giordano deliver a gripping close-up of Green Arrow — hooded, jaw set, eyes fierce — drawing his bow with unmistakable intensity, a white rose visible in the lower corner adding an unexpectedly delicate contrast to the tension. This 1988 "Suggested for Mature Readers" series, written by Mike Grell, continues to push Oliver Queen into grittier, more grounded territory than fans had seen before. With "Gauntlet, Part 1" on the horizon, this issue promises the kind of street-level drama that made this run feel genuinely different.
