Showcase Presents: Green Arrow #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis massive black-and-white volume collects the earliest Silver Age adventures of Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) and his sidekick Speedy (Roy Harper), drawn from their backup features in Adventure Comics and their own solo stories in World's Finest Comics and The Brave and the Bold. It also includes their team-ups with Batman, Superboy, and Superman (Clark Kent), showcasing the evolution of the archer from a Batman-like crimefighter to a more distinctive character. Spanning the late 1950s through the mid-1960s, this collection is a cornerstone for fans of DC's classic superhero storytelling.
In "The Green Arrows of the World," Green Arrow and Speedy stumble into a strange dimension where they meet Xeen Arrow, a counterpart whose world views the famed Green Arrow's arrows as nothing more than children's toys. With a comet's passage opening a fleeting gateway between worlds, the mystery of the giant arrows on Earth begins to unravel—only for Xeen Arrow to send them back before the rift seals. Written by Ed Herron and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Roz Kirby, this issue features a striking cover by Lee Elias and Jerry Ordway.
