Green Arrow: 80 Years of the Emerald Archer The Deluxe Edition #[nn]

When millionaire Hector Vance offers a million-dollar donation to charity if Green Arrow will teach him archery, the hero agrees—only to find himself confronting a masked criminal, the Crimson Archer, shortly after the lessons end. As the Emerald Archer digs into the mystery, he uncovers a shocking truth: Hector Vance is actually the criminal mastermind Herb Vraney.

In "Snowbirds Don't Fly," Green Arrow finds himself caught in a harrowing twist when a street attack by junkies ends with one firing one of his own arrows. Teaming up with Green Lantern, he follows the trail to a hidden hangar, only to be overpowered and drugged by the very dealers they're hunting. When Roy Harper arrives to rescue them, the reunion is tense—Roy tries to make sense of his own descent, but Oliver remains deeply unsettled, especially when he sees Roy preparing to use again.

In "They Say It'll Kill Me... But They Won't Say When!", Green Arrow confronts the fallout of Roy’s addiction, leading a desperate mission to dismantle the drug ring behind it. When Green Lantern finds Roy broken in the basement and takes him to Dinah, the two heroes race to save Oliver—just as he escapes a watery death and joins forces to expose pharmaceutical magnate Salomon Hooper. But as the dust settles, Roy reveals the truth: the drugs are only a symptom of something deeper.

In "Book One: The Hunters," Ollie and Dinah settle into Seattle, where Dinah runs Sherwood Florist and Green Arrow dons a new Robin Hood-inspired costume. As Black Canary takes on a major drug operation, Green Arrow hunts a serial killer—only to find the slasher dead at the hands of Shado, whose own violent vendetta is just beginning.

In "Run of the Arrow," Ollie’s final act echoes through the legacy he leaves behind, as heroes honor Green Arrow’s sacrifice. Black Canary passes on his belongings to Connor, who uses an arrow to mark the site where Ollie’s spirit, like his bow, will never truly fall.

In "Quiver, Chapter One: The Queen Is Dead (Long Live the Queen)," a familiar figure returns to Star City with a quiet resolve, stepping into the shadows just as the city stirs with unease. Meanwhile, Arsenal, Black Canary, and Connor reflect on the legacy of the man who once wore the green—Ollie—whose absence echoes through the streets and the hearts of those who knew him.

In "The Archer's Tale Chapter Two: Grays of Shade," Ollie Queen and Shade reveal a past deal that could unravel everything—where Shade promised to erase Ollie’s legacy if he died, leading to Cat-Man’s presence at his funeral. With the Arrow Cave now a ruin and Solomon Grundy inside, Ollie and Speedy race to uncover what’s been lost.

In "Rebirth," Oliver Queen returns to Seattle with a mission: uncovering the mysterious disappearance of homeless individuals. When he crosses paths with Black Canary, who's searching for her own path, the two form an uneasy alliance that leads them into the hidden depths of the city's underground. Together, they uncover a chilling conspiracy tied to the Underground Men.
