Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters #3

The concluding chapter of Mike Grell's landmark 1987 prestige-format miniseries, "Tracking Snow" brings Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters to its intense close. Grell's painted cover renders Oliver Queen as a weathered, hooded archer — bearded and resolute, drawn bow in hand, bathed in deep amber firelight that gives the image a striking painterly gravitas. It's a fittingly atmospheric cap to a series that presented Green Arrow with a grounded, mature edge rarely seen in superhero comics of that era.
