\\nHey guys, in lieu of an episode, we get a special Thanksgiving episode of Rogue Arrow where I talk about the history of the comics and Green Arrow in particular.
\\n
\\n

\\nThe beginning of DC\'s Golden Age of Comics.
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nGreen Arrow and Speedy\'s first appearances in More Fun Comics 73 in 1941. Notice the very Robin Hood feel to their costumes!
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nAn interesting easter egg is that in Episode 5, Damaged we see this:
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nCheck out the numbers and the date above. Pretty neat, eh? 
\\n
\\nThanks to Mr. Morbid\'s House of Fun! for sharing that.
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nAnyways, here\'s a cover for one of Green Arrow\'s first Silver Age appearances:
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nCollected in The Green Arrow by Jack Kirby.
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nHe then is collected in Green Lantern/Green Arrow
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n \\n \\n \\n \\n
Then came Crisis on Infinite Earths! Which, along with Longbow Hunters, recreated the image and story of the Green Arrow.
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nThen Green Arrow died.
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nAnd was brought back by Kevin Smith in Quiver!
\\n
