Green Lantern 85 (Facsimile Edition) #[nn]
"Snowbirds Don't Fly" is a standout story in Green Lantern 85 (Facsimile Edition), a 2020 release that reprints a classic tale written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Neal Adams, with inks and lettering by Adams and John Costanza. When Green Arrow is ambushed by junkies using one of his own arrows, he and Green Lantern follow the trail to a hidden hangar, only to be drugged and nearly overwhelmed—just as Roy Harper arrives to pull them back. The cover, also by Neal Adams, captures the tension with stark, expressive detail.

When Oliver is jumped by junkies, he is shocked when one of them shoots him with one of his own arrows. Green Arrow, now teamed with Green Lantern, follows the leads to find the junkies, including the missing Roy Harper, who lets GA assume he has been working undercover. Later, the junkies lead the heroes to an airplane hangar, but help the dealers knock out GL and GA and inject them with drugs. Roy arrives in time to get the messed up duo home. There he tries to explain the attraction of doing drugs, but Green Arrow remains baffled, and is shocked to soon find Roy getting ready to shoot up.
