Green Arrow Part 1 The Emerald Archer - Character Corner #80
b"We're kicking off 2020 by covering the Emerald Archer himself, Oliver Queen. With Arrow on CW coming to a close soon, we thought it would be a great time to talk about Oliver Queen.\\nGreen Arrow is another character from DC Comics that has his origins all the way back to the Golden Age. First appearing in More Fun Comics #73 in November 1941 along side his sidekick Speedy (Roy Harper).If you remember back to our history of comics episode, it was comics like Action Comics or Detective comics or in the case of Green Arrow, More Fun Comics, that hosted the first appearances and origins of some of the characters we know. More Fun Comics also had the notable first appearances and origins of:\\n\\n\\n\\n \\tDoctor Fate\\n \\tGreen Arrow & Speedy\\n \\tSuperboy\\n \\tAquaman\\n\\nGolden Age Green Arrow was nothing more than an archer version of Batman. Interesting enough though the character survived relatively in tact with the transition to the Silver Age. Whereas Golden Age Green Lantern (Alan Scott) and Golden Age Flash (Jay Garrick) were replaced with new Silver Age characters (Hal Jordan and Barry Allen respectively), Oliver Queen transitioned from Golden to Silver much like Superman and Batman. The Silver Age\\xa0 is where we get the more modern idea of Green Arrow/Oliver Queen thanks to Neal Adam's art and Denny O'Neil's writing. The liberal leanings of Oliver Queen not only become central to the character but it's also where the real separation between Bruce Wayne/ Batman and Oliver Queen/Green Arrow become clearly defined. We wrap up this first part of our deep dive with Mike Grell's excellent run followed by the last 20 issues of Oliver's second solo series leading up to his death in Green Arrow 101.\\nWe have a lot to discuss so give the episode a listen and stay tune for Part 2 where we pick up with Kevin Smith's run all the way through Benjamin Percy's Rebirth run.\\n\\n\\nIssues:\\n\\n\\n \\tGolden Age\\n\\n \\tMore Fun Comics #73 - First Appearance of Green Arrow & Speedy (Oliver Queen & Roy Harper)\\n \\tMore Fun Comics #89 - First origin told\\n\\n\\n \\tSilver Age\\n\\n \\tJustice League #4\\n \\tBrave and the Bold #85\\n \\tJustice League #85\\n \\tGreen Lantern/Green Arrow - Hard Traveling Heroes\\n\\n\\n \\tBronze Age\\n\\n \\tGreen Arrow 4 Issue Mini-Series by Mike Barr (First Green Arrow solo book)\\n \\tMike Grell Run\\n\\n \\tGreen Arrow The Longbow Hunters\\n \\tGreen Arrow The Wonder Year\\n \\tGreen Arrow Vol 1: Hunters Moon\\n \\tGreen Arrow Vol 2: Here There Be Dragons\\n \\tGreen Arrow Vol 3: The Trial of Oliver Queen\\n \\tGreen Arrow Vol 4: Blood of the Dragon\\n \\tGreen Arrow Vol 5: Black Arrow\\n \\tGreen Arrow Vol 6: Last Action Hero\\n \\tGreen Arrow Vol 7: Homecoming\\n \\tGreen Arrow Vol 8: The Hunt for the Red Dragon\\n\\n\\n \\tZero Hour\\n \\tGreen Arrow #100 & #101 - The Death of Oliver Queen\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nLike what you hear?
