Originally introduced in the 1940s, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen has secretly battled crime for years as the masked Green Arrow. With the help of other heroes such as Black Canary and Green Lantern, Queen has employed an arsenal of trick arrows to fight for justice. Then in 1995 Green Arrow died in an airplane explosion. Or did he?

At the forefront of implementing Oliver Queen’s return to the DC Universe was director/actor/comic book writer Kevin Smith. Smith, fresh from his successful retooling of Marvel’s Daredevil, helped to make the first issue of this Green Arrow run one of the bestselling comics of all time.

This hardcover features Green Arrow #16-21 written by New York Times best-selling author Brad Meltzer! The Emerald Archer is back from the dead, and with his adopted son Arsenal in tow, he’s setting off on an adventure that will test his courage and bring formerly hidden facets of the Green Arrow legend to light. Featuring an introduction by Senator Patrick Leahy, a foreword by Greg Rucka (Wonder Woman), Meltzer’s original notes to the series, and the script to issue #16.
