Green Arrow's Most Useful Trick Arrow!!
Roy and Ollie are lounging around watching TV...
And this gives us an excuse for a Silver-Age Kirby-drawn-and-plotted version of Green Arrow's origin!
Also, it gives us an excuse for some shirtless Oliver Queen, which seems to be required for marketing purposes these days...

OK, here's one lesson for aspiring crime-fighters--DON'T LEAVE A DIARY CARVED IN STONE REVEALING YOUR SECRET IDENTITY. Just a thought...
So how can they stop these pesky explorers from, well, exploring?

So, how long until they use that arrow on the TV show?!? Guys? Hello?

ReplyDeleteIs Ollie smoking a pipe in that first panel?! Could a directors cut reprint of Snowbirds Don't Fly be far around the corner, complete with a digitally restored page of a distraught Roy's "I learned from watching YOU!!!" be far behind?
