Manic Monday--The Amazing Imitative Green Arrow!!

We've known forever that poor Golden Age/Silver Age Green Arrow was consumed by Batman envy. Arrow Cave, Arrow Car (also known as the Arrowplane), lots of gadgets, desperate attempts to find him Gotham-lite villains...

But poor Ollie Queen was always copying other heroes, too. Like, for example, Radioactive Man!

Yes, Ranier Wolfcastle should play Green Arrow in the movie...



And then there's this...



This is the point where Soupy Sales or Joan Collins pops out the window to talk with our Caped Crusaders Battling Bowmen, isn't it?



Or the time--well, actually all the times--Ollie tried to be Bulletman!

And if you think that's nuts, well, how about the time Speedy was captured, and about to be taken away on a submarine?!?





That's some aim, Arrow!!

Keep on keepin' on, Oliver Queen. Someday you'll find a gimmick of your own...

From More Fun Comics #74-76 (1941-1942)
