Product Description

Product Description
Oliver Queen - the liberal, womanising multi-millionaire also known as the superhero Green Arrow - is the protector of Star City, with his son, Connor, and ward, Mia.But in his youth, Oliver Queen was little more than a drunk - until a fishing trip turns to murder, and Queen finds himself washed up on an island with a deadly secret: it's home to a group of vicious heroin smugglers, led by "China White", a beautiful and lethal criminal mastermind. With only his wits and a hastily-constructed bow to protect himself, can the fledgling Green Arrow save the island's slaves - and himself?By the red-hot team of Andy Diggle and Jock (Lenny Zero, The Losers), this brand new look at the Green Arrow's origins is packed with high-octane action and suspense!

5.0 out of 5 stars Green arrow: the beginning, 29 Feb 2008
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Green Arrow: Year One (Hardcover)
Green arrow is a dc comics superhero who's been around for a while now, and as a result his origin has been retold several times over the years. This is the latest telling of that tale. And very good it is, too.

Oliver Queen, bored billionare playboy is living for the moment and looking for that certain something that's missing from his life. When he's shipwrecked on a desert island, he has to learn archery fast in order to hunt for game so he can survive. but he's not alone on the island. a nasty drug smuggler has a base there, and is keeping lots of people as slaves.

Can one man with a bow and arrow save the day? and find himself in the process?

This was a comic mini series that ran for six issues, and this collects them under one cover. excellently written by andy diggle and with vivid eye catching art from jock that really suits the story and creates the style well, this is a gripping action adventure and an excellent character study. there are no other superheroes in sight, and it does suit the character to be grounded in the real way.

A superb retelling of the tale for a new generation, this is a great read and well worth getting
