Back in the early 1950′s Jack Kirby moved from Timely Comics (the forerunner of Marvel) to DC. There, before he became one of the greatest comic book creators ever, known for hsi dynamic visual style and for creating new characters and establishing new trends in comic books, he was just getting by illustrating Challengers of the Unknown and House of Mystery at the rate of around twenty pages per month. That total included the eleven Green Arrow stories he drew, all of which are included in this trade paperback, and all inked by his dear spouse Rosalind “Roz” (Jack Kirby hated inking) Kirby. Thus we have eleven little-seen adventures of Green Arrow, written by Ed Wood, Dave Herron and Bill Finger, drawn by one of comics’ greatest creators ever, collecting the Green Arrow stories from Adventure Comics (1938-1983) #250-256 and World’s Finest (1941-1986) #96-99. Jack Kirby at his early, formative Silver Age years. 
These stories are straight out of DC’s Silver Age (1958 – 1959, to be exact), so this is not the familiar goateed Oliver Queen, but the clean-shaven happy-go-lucky adventurer, complete with his pal Speedy. The Silver Age was at once a time of great creativity and ludicrous storytelling, and few characters’ adventures were more ludicrous than Green Arrow’s. There are plenty of laughs to be had from the physical implausibility of Ollie’s various trick arrows, as well as the hare-brained criminal schemes he must foil in each story. But there’s no doubt that they’re also a lot of fun, especially with Kirby’s action-packed pencils. There’s also a great origin piece that makes this collection an “essential” Green Arrow, of sorts – really, this is all the Silver Age Green Arrow I need, as the longer “Showcase Presents” collection got a bit tiring after a while. As stated in the book’s introduction, these stories were published between the time Kirby worked on Challengers of the Unknown and the debut of Marvel’s Fantastic Four, so it’s not the cosmically energetic style that most would associate with him, but more realistic (and, it could be said, a bit on the boring side). Still, it’s pure Kirby without a doubt, so sit back and enjoy a brief diversion from a classic Silver Age creator. user review by Babytoxie, amazon.com
