Green Arrow: Hard Travelin’ Heroes Era

Originally conceived in the 1940s as a Batman clone who relied on trick arrows, Green Arrow discovered his own identity during the late 1960s when he was transformed by writer Dennis O’Neil into a left-leaning social justice advocate. Along with artist Neal Adams, O’Neil sent Green Arrow on a cross-country journey with the more conservative Green Lantern to explore an America that had been rocked by unrest during the decade, taking them from the slums of Star City to the poverty of Appalachia along the way.
