Still reeling from the events of the Longbow Hunters, Oliver Queen and Dinah Lance try their best to make a life in Seattle. Green Arrow is facing his own mortality, and Dinah is still trying to get over her torture. This book collects isues 1-6 of the 1980's Green Arrow relaunch. There are 3 stories, with 2 issues per story. They are:
1. After 18 years, a wealthy child killer is released on a technicality. Green Arrow must keep him away from the only survivor, now an adult counselor, and make sure the killer doesn't go back to his old ways.
2. Green Arrow is recruited by a foreign government to recover a biological weapon before the Chinese do. He reencounters soldier of fortune Eddie Fryers.
3. When a series of gay bashings grip Seattle, Green Arrow tries to get to the bottom of it and runs afoul of gang leaders .
The stories are all very much grounded in reality. The theme of an urban hunter plays strongly as Green Arrow stalks his prey. Gone are the trick arrows and innocence of youth, Grell's Arrow is a weary veteren. While it is obvious this is set in the 1980's, it is still relevant today. The creators of Arrow have taken a lot from this low-key street level series.
Ed Hannigan does a great job as artist. While it is sad Grell could not write and draw the series, the art is a good match for the tone the writer's theme. Recommended.

Been waiting for two decades for these to be collected and they FINALLY are! This, to me, is the quintessential story line for Green Arrow. Placing him in Seattle (The Emerald City) was genious and his run as an Urban Hunter was a masterful turn. This ran for 80 issues so there are certainly many more volumes to come...would love a HC Omnibus when complete!
