About this Collection

This 1989 collection brings together the landmark three-issue miniseries that redefined Green Arrow for a new era. Writer/artist Mike Grell strips the Emerald Archer of his sidekick and lighthearted tone, plunging Oliver Queen into a gritty, mature-themed crime saga set in Seattle. The story follows his hunt for a serial killer targeting sex workers, forcing him to confront the limits of his non-lethal code in a world far removed from the Justice League's adventures.

In "The Hunters," Green Arrow and Black Canary settle into a new life in Seattle, where Dinah opens Sherwood Florist and reimagines Ollie’s costume with a nod to Robin Hood’s legacy. As Green Arrow hunts a local slasher, Black Canary uncovers a dangerous drug ring—only to find the killer’s fate claimed by Shado, whose own violent mission begins to blur the line between justice and vengeance. Written and illustrated by Mike Grell, with colors by Julia Lacquement and lettering by Ken Bruzenak, the cover by Mike Grell captures the story’s brooding intensity.
