Mike Grell Livres

Presenting Mike Grell's critically acclaimed six-year run on Green Arrow. Stripping the Emerald Archer of his gimmicks and trick arrows, Grell introduced the world to an aging Oliver Queen haunted by the life he's led and the paths not taken. Patrolling the back alleys and rooftops of a crime-ridden Seattle--with his fellow crime-fighter and the love of his life, Dinah Lance--he is an urban hunter in a concrete wilderness seeking purpose. Now collecting the entirety of the epic saga that changed the character forever, this first of two omnibus editions includes Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters #1-3, Green Arrow #1-50, and a story from Secret Origins #38, along with brand-new retrospectives by Mike Grell and series editor Mike Gold, and never-before-seen behind-the-scenes material.

Green Arrow hunts down a child killer, races to find a lost biological weapon before Chinese spies can find it, and tackles a rash of violence against gays

Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow, is a vigilante. He patrols the empty spaces where the law cannot or will not be enforced, and metes out what he considers to be justice. Most of the time his judgment is sound. But not always. All it takes is one mistake, one moment of inattention, and innocent lives can be destroyed. And while the Emerald Archer has always known this, the intrusion of two unknown vigilantes into his home turf of Seattle proves to be a stark reminder of the truly brutal nature of life in the underworld. But it will be his own flawed actions that ultimately reveal how fragile the Green Arrow’s world really is—and how easily it can all come crashing down. Acclaimed creators Mike Grell, Ed Hannigan, Dan Jurgens and Dick Giordano delve into the self-proclaimed hero’s heart with GREEN ARROW: THE TRIAL OF OLIVER QUEEN, collects issues #13-20 of the classic series.
