About this Collection

This 2012 collection reprints the landmark 1987 miniseries by writer/artist Mike Grell that redefined Oliver Queen for a new era. The story relocates Green Arrow from Star City to Seattle, stripping away his sidekick and trick arrows for a grittier, street-level approach that tackles mature themes like urban decay and drug trafficking. It serves as the foundational story for the subsequent ongoing series and remains a pivotal turning point in the character's history.

In "The Hunters," Green Arrow and Black Canary settle into a new life in Seattle, where Dinah opens Sherwood Florist and begins crafting a more traditional Robin Hood-inspired costume for Ollie. As Green Arrow hunts a brutal serial killer in the city, Black Canary delves into a dangerous drug operation—only to find their paths colliding with Shado, whose own violent vendetta unfolds in the shadows. Written and illustrated by Mike Grell, with cover art by Grell, this 2012 issue blends gritty urban mystery with personal stakes, all rendered in Grell’s signature style.
