“Freed from the Depths”

In "Freed from the Depths," Green Arrow proves his mettle in a high-stakes rescue when a cable car teeters on the edge of a cliff after its cable snaps. With calm precision, he steadies the car and ensures the stranded children are comforted with Hostess Fruit Pies while help arrives. Illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by Vince Colletta and letters by Ben Oda, this 1980 DC tale blends suspense and quiet heroism. The cover, by Joe Kubert, captures the tension in bold, dynamic lines.
