Hey 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.
The beginning of DC's Golden Age of Comics.
Green Arrow and Speedy's first appearances in More Fun Comics 73 in 1941. Notice the very Robin Hood feel to their costumes!
An interesting easter egg is that in Episode 5, Damaged we see this:
Check out the numbers and the date above. Pretty neat, eh?
Thanks to Mr. Morbid's House of Fun! for sharing that.
Anyways, here's a cover for one of Green Arrow's first Silver Age appearances:
Collected in The Green Arrow by Jack Kirby.
He then is collected in Green Lantern/Green Arrow

Then came Crisis on Infinite Earths! Which, along with Longbow Hunters, recreated the image and story of the Green Arrow. |  |
Then Green Arrow died.
And was brought back by Kevin Smith in Quiver!
