About this ebook

Oliver Queen has been a faithful member of the Justice League of America and defended Star City with his trusty bown and an arsenal of deadly arrows for years--now thrill to the definitive tale of how he became Green Arrow! Queen is a frivolous playboy with little care for anyone or anything--apparently even himself. But when he's double-crossed and marooned on a jungle island, he finds that he does care about something: justice!

Ratings and reviews

This comic is great. It shows how disgusting of a person Oliver Queen was and how rapidly he transformed into a hero. My only issue with this is the fact that Mr.Queen's adventure was depicted in a very quick manner. I really expected a much more in depth look at the origin of Green Arrow. All-In-All, it's a very good telling of his story, and a must-have comic in your library.

The comic book universe has so many diffrent story lines this one of Oliver Queen is worth the read.

Looking for a under appreciated hero I was happy to read about this hero bound to make it big in the near future and I am proud to be a huge fan whilst he is still not well known
