GREEN ARROW YEAR ONE TP (DC COMPACT COMICS EDITION)

Oliver Queen is a frivolous playboy with little care for anyone or anything—until he's double-crossed and stranded on a jungle island. With only a makeshift bow and arrows, he learns what it means to fight for justice and survive in a ruthless world. Green Arrow Year One retells the Emerald Archer's origin with a lean, hard-edged focus on character and craft. Writer Andy Diggle brings noir-smart storytelling and kinetic action, while artist Jock delivers stark, moody visuals that capture both tropical danger and Queen’s measured resolve. This compact-format edition gathers a defining chapter of the hero's early years as he confronts drug-running criminals and discovers the responsibilities that come with power. A definitive origin tale for fans of street-level heroes, this volume charts the moment when Oliver Queen stops being a playboy and becomes a guardian of justice.
