Green Arrow No. 1 MAY 1983


I read this issue because I have been watching the somewhat poor quality "Arrow" television show on CW that is allegedly about this character. Notable differences in costume, facial hair, and origin story exist -- of course. However, despite the show's shortcomings, it is neat to see the character attempted via a live-action format. 

Now, the comic book is cool because it features a recap of Green Arrow's origin story as well as a build up of a new mystery. I think that the artistic styles of comic books in the 1980s and 1990s are the best because they are not too realistic looking and yet convey the action without appearing to be too cartoonish. Interestingly, this is the first solo issue with Green Arrow as the title character, despite the guy having been around already for nearly 40 years. Keep it green my friends!
