Green Arrow. Now this little-seen work can finally be yours to own with

Arrow stories ever done by Kirby, one of comics' greatest creators ever.

wife Roz), were originally featured in ADVENTURE COMICS #250-256 and WORLD'S
FINEST COMICS #96-99 (spanning 1958-1959). This amazing volume also features
a cover by Kirby and an introduction by comics writer/historian Mark Evanier!

Green Arrow's First Case," "The Green Arrows of the World,"

[From DC Comics: In the 1970s, a revolution was happening in comics
as "relevant" stories began to appear that reflected the fast-changing
social climate and attitudes in America of the time. Among the first such
relevant comics was the groundbreaking and legendary run of Green Lantern/Green
Arrow, featuring stories by Dennis O'Neil and artwork by Neal Adams. Now
this classic set of stories is collected in a single volume for the first
time as a deluxe slipcased hardcover editionThe Green Lantern/Green
Arrow Collectionin time for the 25th Anniversary! All the stories
from the 1970s are included (along with the original GL/GA issues' covers),
as well as the GL/GA story that was serialized in three issues of The Flash.
In addition, a cover gallery showcases all the covers from the 1983 reprint
series run. Virtually every piece of art generated for publication as a
result of this series is represented in this special edition. In these stories,
Green Lantern Hal Jordan continued his usual cosmos-spanning adventures,
as he used his amazing power ring to police Sector 2814 against universe-threatening
menaces. Meanwhile, on Earth, Oliver Queen, the archer known as Green Arrow,
was confronting menaces of a different kind: racism, poverty, drugs, and
other social ills. When the two Emerald Allies meet again, Jordan is thrown
for a loop as Queen takes him on a road trip across America (and eventually
to other worlds) that opens his eyes to evils and social injustices he never
imagined existed. Includes a 4-color slipcase and dust jacket.] |
