Publisher’s description

It was an age of change, a time when a new awareness was spreading across America, a sense that people mattered and weren't powerless against corporate and political corruption. Into this brave new world came a hero for the times, one who evoked a medieval legend of another movement to 'fight the power.' GREEN ARROW: THE WONDER YEAR tells the story of the earliest days of the Emerald Archer's career as a true hero of the common man. Like the mythical Robin Hood, Green Arrow is a hero forced into existence by the challenges of the world around him - a world rife with greed and injustice. What were the influences that shaped the character of Oliver Queen, the events that evolved him from a careless corporate boor into a streetwise, hard-edged vigilante? The tale is told here! The beginnings of the Emerald Archer, Green Arrow! After a drunken accident on a cruise, Oliver Queen returns to civilization a new man, one who plans on fighting for the people against corruption.
