Green Arrow 9 ─ Old Tricks

Mike Grell’s defining run on the Emerald Archer concludes here in GREEN ARROW VOL. 9: OLD TRICKS.

Oliver Queen’s New Year’s bash is in full swing when an arrow strikes him from the rooftops. A mysterious archer from Ollie’s past has come for his head. With the return of Shado, and the aid of Dinah Lance and Marianne, they will have to scour the Seattle Underground to uncover the truth. With tension growing between Dinah and Oliver after his kiss with Marianne, will surviving the archer be enough to keep them together?

Collecting issues #73-80 and Grell’s origin story, GREEN ARROW: THE WONDER YEAR #1-4.

Artist Michael Jon Grell quickly made a name for himself in comics by tackling one of its most difficult assignments--the seemingly infinite universe of the Legion of Super-Heroes. From there, Grell joined Dennis O'Neil for a well-received Green Lantern and Green Arrow revival and might have become a regular contributor to the Batman office if his creation WARLORD had not taken off to become DC's most successful fantasy title ever. Grell (whose other works of note include JON SABLE, FREELANCE, STARSLAYER and GREEN ARROW) still writes the occasional BATMAN tale.
