☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection presents the six-issue miniseries that reimagines the origin of Oliver Queen, tracing his transformation from a spoiled billionaire playboy into the hardened archer known as Green Arrow. Stranded on a remote island after a shipwreck, Queen must learn to survive using only his wits and a bow, forging the skills and resolve that will define his crime-fighting career. Written by Andy Diggle with art by Jock, this 2007 story serves as a modern, definitive take on the character's earliest days.
Green Arrow: Year One #1 (2009) kicks off with "Part One," a gripping origin that follows Oliver Queen as he confronts the raw reality of survival after washing ashore on a remote island. Written by Andy Diggle and brought to life by Jock’s stark, dynamic art and David Baron’s evocative colors, the issue captures Oliver’s transformation from a privileged man to someone forged by necessity. The cover by Jock perfectly frames this moment of reckoning, where the line between hunter and prey begins to blur.
After a humiliating outburst at a charity gala, Oliver Queen flees to his yacht for solitude—only to be betrayed by a trusted associate and left drifting in the open sea. Stranded and broken, he must survive the elements while confronting the wreckage of his old life.
In "Part Two" of Green Arrow: Year One, Oliver Queen confronts the raw reality of survival on a remote island, where the line between man and beast blurs. As hunger and isolation strip away his former life, he must redefine himself—no longer the privileged heir, but something harder, sharper. When armed strangers arrive, Oliver makes a choice: to become the hunter, not the hunted.
